Intelligent use of cannabis is all about knowing yourself, but for me, cannabis has been a big part of getting to know myself. The two go hand in hand – as you get more in touch with yourself and your needs, you’re better able to use cannabis as a tool for self-care, which in turn helps you connect more deeply with yourself.

In our society mothers tend to get blamed for everything – in many ways it can often feel like it’s impossible to “get it right” in the eyes of society; add cannabis to the story and you have a recipe for judgement from all sides.

Amandine on Cannamums
Many people would argue that the most stressful job in the world is being a parent. And yet the use of cannabis by parents (particularly mothers, who are still seen as being the primary caregivers) is condemned by society, despite its potential to massively mitigate the stresses and mental health issues that many parents (mothers in particular) deal with.

Amandine on the Importance of Finding your People
We are the sum of the five people we spend the most time with, and when you’re running a conscious business, you want to be particularly intentional about who you’re spending time with. Not only that but the challenges of the entrepreneurial journey mean that you need people who will be able to understand and support you as you grow into a business owner.

Aline de Angelis on the legislation surrounding coffeeshops in Amsterdam
Despite being world-renowned for its coffee shops, Amsterdam does not have a very friendly policy towards the local industry. It’s a world of ever-changing regulations, restrictions and stigma – but one coffee shop owner definitely still feels it’s worth it!
Aline co-owns one of the only organic coffeeshops in Amsterdam, La Tertulia, with her mother. Women-owned, and women-run, La Tertulia is unlike any other coffee shop in the city. The feminine vibe and high-quality organic bud will transport you. It’s possibly the only coffeeshop you could see yourself on a date in, surrounded by greenery and crystals – it’s a must-see if you are ever in Amsterdam.

Amandine on Cannabis Legislation in the Netherlands
Despite the globally held belief to the contrary, cannabis is not in fact legal in the Netherlands. And thanks to pretty confusing laws and attitudes around it, many consumers in the country are aware that engaging with cannabis means engaging in a rather grey area, legally speaking.
