Jeana Acosta

Project Director 

​

Jeana is a daily cannabis user. She uses cannabis, along with a plant based diet and yoga practice, to help treat PTSD and chronic pain. Shortly after President Joe Biden was in office, he fired members of his administration for testing positive for cannabis. This sends a message to our country. It send the message that people who use cannabis can not do their jobs. Jeana felt we needed to make a statement showing that cannabis users are high-functioning members of society and deserve to be treated as such. Cannabis has been proven to treat a number of different aliments, and it's important that we look at cannabis and plant medicine as a first option, not a last resort.
