SUSAN SOARES | DEVOUT MORMON TO CANNABIS ACTIVIST
Nov 14, 2019
Podcast Location Los Angeles, CA Susan Soares became a passionate advocate of social justice and full cannabis legalization after experiencing the plant’s medicinal benefits nearly two decades ago after a severe spine injury. Soares became enraged that life-saving medicine is being withheld from suffering patients and started C.A.R.E., a non profit organization dedicated to Cannabis Awareness, Rallies, and Events. Until her cannabis awakening, Soares supported the U.S. government war on drugs and was educated as a Mormon at Brigham Young University where she studied fashion design. Her transition to believing in cannabis made her incompatible with the Mormon church, which she left when she was 33, braving excommunication and alienation from both family and friends. Her latest endeavor is a children’s book she authored entitled “What’s Growing in Grandma’s Garden”, to help parents talk to their children about cannabis.
