you can find that people are extremely capable and driven. My
partner and I are 22, we’re both daily cannabis smokers, but we’re
also fitness fanatics, I’m a financial analyst and a dancer, he can
solve a Rubik’s cube in under 15 seconds, I’m working on publishing
a book, we are anything but unmotivated, and we are just two
examples.
Hemp Life Magazine: Part of our mission here at Smokers Society
& Hemp Life Magazine is to promote the benefits of Cannabis as
well as create a platform for self-expression. What are some health
benefits that you may have experienced (or heard of) from using
weed?
Rae: I’ve had a lot of personal experience with using cannabis for its
medicinal benefits. It was first suggested to me by my father; I’ve
suffered from a lot of chronic back pain, and slipped a disc last year.
After weeks of trying to work through the haze of narcotics, I started
using topical cannabis butter. It took away my need for narcotics and
was able to feel like myself again. Later in life I’ve used cannabis for
helping with social anxiety, trouble sleeping, and found the most
amazing tattoo ointment I’ve ever used.
Hemp Life Magazine: Tell us about yourself, what you do and how
you want to grow in the Cannabis industry?
Rae: I’m crazy about nutrition, fitness and wellness, and to me,
cannabis has been an amazing tool for personal wellness, spiritually
and physically. Cannabis can be used to center yourself in
meditation, ease pain while stretching and help reach creative
potential. If I could grow in the cannabis industry, I would love to
share with people the diverse culture cannabis can have. People tend
to sit in their homes while high, which can be fantastic and relaxing,
and just the right thing for some people. But I have had the
opportunity to bring my close friends on amazing experiences, from
the planetarium, to nature walks, and art galleries. Opening your
mind and heart with cannabis can bring a whole new life to
experiences.

Words from Rae Edie:
@Raenbowww
Weed + Music = Hemp Life. What does the
statement Hemp Life mean to you and how do you express it in
your everyday life if any?
Rae: To me, Hemp Life is about celebrating the diverse benefits
and possibilities of the cannabis plant. From recreational use, to
fabrics and medicine, it is an amazing plant, that when combined
with a brilliant mind has endless possibilities.
Hemp Life: Some people may look at those who smoke pot as
unmotivated, a bad person or just someone who is doing nothing
with their life...how do you feel about that and what is your
message to those that may disapprove or who are still not very
accepting of the Stoner community?
Rae: It’s very closed-minded to assume that cannabis smokers are
lazy or unmotivated. It’s just a stereotype, and when you look past it,
Hemp Life Magazine: What are some of your hobbies/things you
like to do for fun?
Rae: I’m a lot of things; I work as a financial analyst. My interests
are endless; I can never manage to pick just one thing. Dancing,
reading, weight-lifting, writing, cooking, and cats are all things I’m
passionate about.
Hemp Life Magazine: Any comments, shot outs or last
words? Anything you want to say to the world and/or Stoner
community? Anything you want to touch basis on that we haven't
already?
Rae: Final comments: Our environment is struggling. Hemp has the
potential to save our planet; it was once a staple in American
agriculture. It has the ability to grow and thrive in harsh conditions
and can be manufactured into fabrics, biodegradable plastics, paper
and so much more. Hemp is more than weed, it’s more than THC and
getting high. Hemp has so much potential, it just needs our
understanding and support to bring it back into our culture.
Hemp Life Magazine: How can people keep up with you and/or
check out your work?
Rae: You can follow me on instagram, if you want to know more
about me, or hear about my upcoming book. @Raenbowww
