In this episode, Steph and Stacy talk about how they met at a retreat by ReThink Breast Cancer an organization that supports young breast cancer survivors. They connected thanks to the ability to have a conversation about medical cannabis. They walk us through their journey to learning about the issues they faced while accessing medical cannabis as young breast cancer patients.
