  • Welcome to A Tincture of Time Podcast | Meet Steph & Stacy!
    Apr 26 2021

    In this episode, Steph and Stacy share their personal stories with cannabis as a real therapeutic option for helping them get through breast cancer. Both women were diagnosed young, leaned into cannabis as a medicine and now are living their BEST lives, despite stigma and despite continual health issues related to treatment. As medical patients, Stacy and Steph were left on their own to figure out the HOW of this medicine. Their personal experiences have brought them together to continuously educate those around them, as Certified Cannabis Educators.

  • 02 Patient-Centred Care (Stigma, Cancer, and Cannabis)
    Apr 30 2021
    Does stigma stem from a lack of knowledge? In this episode, Stacy and Steph talk about stigma in the healthcare system. Stigma is not helpful to your health or to your recovery. Stigma exists in the cancer world, especially breast cancer when it comes to “body stigma”.  What is health? How do cancer patients come to terms with the decisions that affect their health as a result of their diagnosis?  Patient-centered care results in less stigma. Considering the individual, their experiences and goals are important in treatment planning. Involving the patient in some of the decision making allows them to eventually find comfort in their body, leading to acceptance of self and acceptance of the decisions that they helped to make.  We have seen improvements over the years with breast cancer treatments based on new research. The same can be said for cannabis. Conversations and treatment options change as new research emerges. This helps to decrease cannabis stigma.  How can we reduce suffering? What empowers the patient? What role does mindset, support, and connection with others play when it comes to stigma?
