How two women found their footing in the medical cannabis industry

Hardcover-Book-Hand.jpg

What do you get when you cross two suburban mothers, a federally illegal industry, and a whole lot of skepticism?
A thriving medical cannabis dispensary and product line.

 

Why it matters

By sharing their story, Apgar and Dubbé aspire to help readers navigate the seemingly complex world of the plant’s chemistry, find inspiration in uplifting patient journeys, and ultimately, become empowered to be a part of shifting the narrative of cannabis to that of a viable, powerful, and effective medicine.

About the Book

In High Heals, Apgar and Dubbé tell how an ob-gyn and an engineer turned entrepreneur became best friends and embarked on a risky cannabis enterprise that paid off big. With equal parts humor, humility, and resolve, they discuss their challenges, their triumphs, and the uncultivated potential of medical cannabis in helping heal patients and solve the opioid epidemic.
