TSC Talks was honored to host Janna Champagne, RN, BSN, as a guest for the second time.
From https://jannachampagne.com:
"Janna's introduction to the cannabis industry began as a cannabis patient who happens to be a nurse, when she suffered a debilitating immune health collapse in 2012.
Janna credits cannabis for helping to reduce her reliance on harmful pharmaceuticals, and for supporting her ability to regain optimal health status against all odds.
Janna is also known for her daughter's cannabis/Autism success story, which published on the cover story in a nationwide industry magazine in 2017

Nurse Janna has educated thousands of patients, helping them optimize their cannabis therapy outcomes through an individualized and well-informed approach. Janna has gained extensive clinical application knowledge through her work, including individual considerations of cannabis therapy, and which products might best fit a patient's situation. This also lends to her current expertise in educating nurses/medical professionals about cannabis, formulating symptom-targeted products, and ensuring patient's find optimal medical cannabis formulations.

Following patient needs has led Nurse Janna to fulfill diverse cannabis industry roles:

Graduate Faculty - John Patrick University
Founder Nonprofit Autism Safe Haven
Education-Patients, Medical Professionals, Industry Staff
Symptom Targeted/Medical Cannabis Formulating
Research Review/Written Content Author
Prominent Cannabis Advocate, Presenter, and Public Speaker/Interviewee
Volunteer Roles: Subcommittee Member, Oregon Cannabis Commission. Founding Member, Oregon Cannabis Clinician's Group"

From the transcript: "So I'm a cannabis nurse full time. And I have come into this industry as a patient, I have benefited greatly from cannabis as medicine, as has my daughter. Our stories are very widely available. If you want more detail on that. And just by following patient needs, I progressed from a patient to a grower to helping patients to now I'm beginning to educate medical professionals about cannabis. And another project I'm working on is is improving the accessibility of cannabis inclusive autism care resources. My daughter is you know, with her autism, and she's 18 years of age and, you know, ready to move on in life. And there really are no resources. So I'm building this for her and for other children that rely on cannabis for their quality of life and is their medicine and to allow them access to their chosen medicine, you know, while also receiving the care that they require. So that's that's really the purpose of autism safe haven."
