A trip
to Pappy & Harriet's to see the
band Gram Rabbit was Barbie's first
visit to the desert. From then, she would travel back and forth
between the desert and a corporate job in Long Beach - that's a
long ride for the love of the desert.
After
a medical diagnosis in 2008, Barbie Sommars sought alternative
methods of healing and pain management and came to cannabis. She's
moved from patient to activist to educator on her journey and
currently leads the Orange County Chapter of Women Grow and produces
cannabis infused Moonlight Movable Feasts
through her High Dining brand. Barbie also founded Fairie Jane, a cannabis
lifestyle brand, celebrating cannabis awareness and activism
through the art of adornment.
In this
episode, Barbie helps the uninitiated understand a bit about
hemp and marijuana, the differences between the two and the
biological reasons it's helping so many people with or without
ailments. She also shares a bit about some of the products she
promotes and the jewel-like blown-glass pieces she offers as an
homage to the underground glass makers - the full story on that is
in a film called Degenerate
Art.
