In this powerful episode of The Canna Boss Babes, we sit down with attorney Victoria J. Cvitanovic, a former narcotics prosecutor turned fierce advocate for cannabis, psychedelic medicine, and patient rights.
Victoria shares how a life-changing injury and her own experience with chronic pain led her to discover the healing potential of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy—shifting her legal career forever. We talk about the deep stigma still surrounding plant medicine, what it means to truly make the law more accessible, and how Zen Buddhism, disability advocacy, and personal transformation fuel her work.
🧠 Highlights include:
Her journey from the DA’s office to psychedelic law
The spiritual wake-up call that changed her perspective on healing
Legal insights into cannabis vs. psychedelic regulation
How the legal world still stigmatizes patients—and how she’s pushing back
Why compassion, connection, and curiosity matter more than ever
This is an episode about justice, healing, and remembering we’re all walking each other home. 💚

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
