Our goal is to facilitate legislation that would make autism a qualifying condition in all current legal medical cannabis states.  But it shouldn’t stop there.  The legislation should include ACCESS to appropriate medical cannabis for all autism patients.  My job will be done when HOPE™ truly sees no boundaries… no state boundaries, no educational boundaries, no stigma boundaries, no access boundaries. 

Weed Queen: Antoinette Wade Chase, Founder of Gratitude Blossom

A true trailblazer, Antoinette learned leadership, teamwork, and organizational skills unique to the armed forces and brings them to bear in Gratitude Blossom to serve veterans, disabled and terminally ill patients and clients. Antoinette is a game changer in the cannabis industry. Her unique ability to build and maintain incredible working relationships sets her apart from the rest.

What I want for the cannabis industry is the same for many other industries – to see more people of color and more women at the helm. Like attracts like, like supports like, like funds like. As long as those with the money and power look a certain way and think a certain, close-minded way, things in business – and in our society – can’t change.
