In this episode, host Diana Krach welcomes guest Danielle Simone Brand to discuss the normalization of plant medicine and how that pertains to discussions with children. With legislation and social media, herbalism and alternative therapies are becoming more common. However, the conversation around plant medicine often stems from prohibition. Danielle recently wrote a guide for CannaCurious Magazine on how to discuss plant medicine in a way that doesn't perpetuate fear. They discuss how finding a starting point can be difficult, but it's important to approach the topic with an open mind and respect for its history and cultural significance. They also touch on the importance of education and the potential for plant medicine to be used in a healing and transformative way.
