Even though today’s entry goes back to 1879, the topic feels quite contemporary. Trina Ragsdale and Tom Giovanucci of Jane’s Joint, a boutique dispensary opening soon in Gibbsboro, New Jersey, joined Brandon and Angela to talk through an entry that described cannabis as a treatment for epilepsy in the Philadelphia Medical Times. Between cannabis and comfort, whether for cancer or post-workout, Trina and Tom shared the journeys that led them to launching Jane’s Joint and how cannabis education helps people make good decisions about accessing safe products. Mari’s entry, about the writings of the learned Dr. Wharton Sinkler and his observations of cannabis eliminating seizures in a 10 year-old patient, helped further the group’s conversation about South Jersey embracing the cannabis industry and furthering access to reliable information. Mari reinforced the lesson: Cannabis has been alleviating symptoms for centuries.

"The Diary of Mari reminds us of life's simplicities and the peacefulness and restorative nature of the cannabis plant". Trina & Tom
