Her passion for maternal cannabis began with her first pregnancy and moved into her second. “I could not keep anything down; I was throwing up all day and losing weight at a rapid pace. If it was not for cannabis subsiding the sickness I was experiencing, I do not believe I would have made it to 36 weeks,” said Kelly Brown.
