Flower to the People: A Dad’s Take on Wellness

You know what they say—three podcasters walk into a studio… and forget why they came in. But not this time! In this episode of Cannabis Enlightened, Dr. Leroy welcomes Puff Provisions founder Mark Reyes, a father, cannabis advocate, and self-declared “chief cook and bottle washer” of his podcast. Mark breaks down what it means to be a responsible consumer in a world still catching up to cannabis culture—and how being a dad with a vape pen doesn’t make you a rebel, just relaxed.

Also joining the mic is Arianna Salazar, clinical herbalist and spiritual coach, who adds a touch of plant-based wisdom to the mix. Together, the trio talks about busting myths, modern consumption methods (from tinctures to mocktails), and why everyone from grandma to Gen Z deserves good weed and better information.
