If you have visited the Kansas City Cannabis -Kearney, you have probably met or heard of Danielle. She is the Assistant manager and Inventory specialist for our dispensary. She is an integral part of our business and she is full of Cannabis knowledge and experience. Patients have come to build trust in her recommendations and ask her help with questions. I asked her to capture some thoughts about her Cannabis journey, and what working in the Missouri Medical Marijuana industry means to her.

"I was first introduced to cannabis as a recreational activity as a young adult. It was a safe and more comfortable social thing to do than the alternatives. As I grew up I studied the medicinal benefits of cannabis and attempted to treat my own pain and mental health symptoms. I witnessed first hand the power of cannabis about four years ago when a close friend needed help getting off of opiates. I showed up with a bag in hopes of helping them get through the detox. Miraculously, it made them immediately more comfortable. Ever since, I have been a huge advocate for legalization and public education.

Working at KCC has been a highlight of my life. The whole team is knowledgeable and passionate. It isn't hard to constantly learn new things when surrounded by so much curiosity. I have grown so much in my confidence and professionalism."

If you are in need of some medicine, head on up to Kearney and see Danielle. She will point you in the right direction, and you will be in better spirits than you were before you met her.
