Hey @todd.mccormick Welcome to Growers Network! Thanks for hosting this very enlightening AMA!
Your story is AMAZING! I am astonished to read how your mom went against the grain and provided help for you at such a young age. I love the fact that she smoked with you. I bet that was a great bonding and mind blowing experience for you as a child. 
Thanks for sharing your story with us!
I am really excited to hear the questions that our members in our community have to ask you. Even if it’s just to say Thanks for Everything you have done for this industry.
@Growernick started a thread last week asking parents on the forum “how do they talk to their kids about cannabis?” and after reading your story, my questions for you are… Being so young when you first started using medical cannabis, how have you approached this topic with your kids or others’ children who are dealing or have dealt with asking questions about cannabis? What advice do you give other parents who are considering the use of medical marijuana for their children?
It’s an honor to be speaking with you. Thanks in advance!
