Next in my Real Life Stories series we have the Queen of Blue Ridge Kush, Nina.P (@Ninibe_). Nina, 32, was trained to sell CBD before she had even tried Cannabis, let alone an isolated cannabiniod. She has even had the privilege to go to California to get her hands stuck in with the greenery. She takes time from her busy schedule to tell me a bit about her Cannais Journey...
My journey in cannabis started about 4 years ago, when I was studying psychology and working in Whole Foods. I started learning about the endocannabinoid system at university when studying psychology at the same time as I started being trained to sell CBD. I was quickly drown into the THC side of the plant too. I was lucky enough to meet the right people who took me under their wings in the cannabis world. I had my first dabs, first joints, first edibles, always surrounded by people who care and willing to educate me and guide me to the best direction. I’m really grateful for all the knowledge and love these people shared with me because I wouldn’t be here right now without them. I capitalized information, skills and connections ... I had to proved myself many times, I started working countless hours and most of the time for free... and soon after graduating this paid off: I was offered great work opportunities in the cannabis industry. I risked it all and just went for it.
I have never been a fan of the “binge” culture. Getting really drunk or getting fucked with drugs is not my jam. I enjoy cannabis on a daily basis, mostly dabs. It helps with my endometriosis and my autoimmune condition. Plus I enjoy the little high and chill I get from it. It always makes me happy and never stop me from getting shit done.
I am so happy to have been welcomed in a community that is quite misogynistic and I’m glad all of us, girls, stand together and support each other.
Thank you so much Nina! So 4 years ago you were training to sell CBD before you had a chance to try the THC / 'normal weed' side before? that's very interesting.
I started with CBD. I was taught about the Endocannabinoid system during my psychology/neuroscience studies at uni and got super interested! And this happened at the same time where we started having CBD oil on the shelves in UK health stores. Whilst working in whole foods, I met a few friends selling CBD during the day and going to cannabis clubs at night. They introduced me to this world and I loved it. Everyone was welcoming and willing to share their knowledge with me.
Is dabbing your preferred mode of administration? Do you have somewhere you'd recommend to get your concentrates to dab & equipment (for someone who hasn't tried it before)
Dabbing is my favourite way, using hash rosin. I have never bought concentrates in the UK so unfortunately I can’t recommend anything. I have mine from the US. Happy Cabbage is an excellent brand with amazing concentrates! I use glass bongs + quartz nails. I didn’t use to like hot dabs but now I do, and I only take very teeny tiny dabs, haha. I’m a very light weight when it come to THC, but I still like to dab every day. Not necessarily in social settings but more by myself at home. It’s my little treat, my “me time”.
