style=\"font-weight: 400\">After suffering from illnesses, chronic pain, anxiety and depression, Guynes was prescribed multiple medications she felt were not helping. With the healthcare system not working in her favor and needing an advocate, she branched out and finally found some relief through CBD products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This made her realize there was more to cannabis than the taboos she had been taught growing up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere\u2019s something here,\u201d she recalls thinking as she delved deeper into researching data, studies, and information. Guynes wanted to share what she discovered about cannabis through reliable sources so others could learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks to the National Council for the State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) publishing guidelines for medical marijuana in 2018, Guynes was in a place where she could provide education to people and help them find healing through cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her website <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thekushnurse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kush Nurse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> offers many services for people looking to learn how cannabis can transform their life.
