Pot for the People

Whether you call it marijuana, pot, weed, cannabis, or any of the dozens of other names, this ancient plant is here to stay. You may be all for it. You may be strongly against it. Or, you may have more questions than a four-year-old at bedtime.

Angie Roullier has spent the past 12 years in the cannabis retail business, and she’s found that most people have very basic questions when it comes to cannabis and how it works in “real life.”

- Who can it help and who can it harm?

- Will holding in my hit increase my high?

- Is there a difference between taking drops or eating a gummy?

- How is it possible that it can work for so many different things?

The answers to these questions are out there; it’s just that most are not in plain English, nor are they all in one spot.

Pot for the People is here to help you sort some of it out, with history, science, and stories from Roullier’s personal interactions with medical marijuana patients, vendors, shop owners, and scientists.

Pot for the People also contains a chapter on the cannabis retail arena, including shop organization, hiring, and customer service.

Author Biography

Angie Roullier is a huge advocate for the importance of proper, science-based cannabinoid education, dosages, prescription inter-actions, whole plant products, and terpene profiles. She is also a firm believer that tailored can-nabinoid and terpene medicine is the future of this new industry.“Over 12 years ago, I chose to give cannabis a shot as a method of treatment for my CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth). Not only did I find that it greatly improved my quality of life, but I was now wildly curious about how it worked and how it could help others. So, as Hunter S. Thompson recommended, I bought the ticket and took the ride and joined the cannabis industry.I have yet to regret a single day.“First, I worked for a cannabis certification center, then ran the gauntlet of retail positions from reception through team leader and now tutoring within the Metro Detroit cannabis markets. I have spoken with city councils, law enforcement, assisted living facilities, and veterans to edu-cate them on how cannabis works in the real world.“I am a huge advocate for the importance of proper, science-based cannabinoid education, dosages, prescription interactions, whole plant products, and terpene profiles. I am also a firm believer that tailored cannabinoid and terpene medicine is the future of our new industry.Over the years I have crossed paths with thousands of people looking to cannabis for help with physical, mental, and/or emotional conditions. I have seen cannabis do wonders for so many of these people . . . and I have seen it do absolutely nothing for others. Cannabis is not for eve-ryone. Cannabis is not a cure-all, a magic bullet, or the last medicine you’ll ever take. But what it may have is the potential to help. Naturally.”
