Today, I’m so excited to share an interview I recorded with fellow cannabis enthusiast, Charlotte Brathwaite, aka “Lotta Locks”.
Lotta is the founder of The Bakersmen Collective, which is a cannabis culture platform. Through the Bakersmen Collective, Lotta produces the Light up and Listen mixes, hosts the Functional Potheads podcast, and has recently launched a new series called Rising Brands that showcases the work up promising entrepreneurs in the cannabis space.
In this episode, Lotta shares her personal experiences with cannabis, and how cannabis has helped with her mental health and her ability to get in tune with her emotions. For Lotta, living her best life also includes the intentional combination of cannabis and music. She uses both cannabis and music to spur moments of peace and self-introspection and become her best self.
Lotta and I also talked about the fact that so far, social equity programs and policies in cannabis have not been effective and haven’t yet been successful in bridging the divide between white and black opportunity in the industry. And that we can’t stop pushing until the communities that have been impacted by the war on drugs receive true, restorative justice.
Finally, if you have been interested in the possibility of using CBD for pets, listen to what Lotta has to say about her dog’s transformation after she incorporated CBD into his food. Her account highlights that there is so much potential for CBD and full-plant medicine to change the game in terms of animal healthcare.
I hope you enjoy the interview! Follow along with Lotta and The Bakersmen Collective on Instagram @thebakersmencollective.
