Clarification of the Farm Bill in 2018 meant we saw a rush of CBD-infused products everywhere, from the gas station to the med spa! There were a handful of brave companies that led the charge, fighting against stigmas and even the obstacles of banking and advertising. These companies knew this ingredient, from a plant that continues to show amazing potential, was worth it! In this episode, we speak with two amazing (female) entrepreneurs from different corners of the cannabis experience, with one common purpose—to bring truth and acceptance to cannabis-infused spa products and services. Tune in to see how they got here and where they see the future of cannabis in our industry.

About our Sponsor: Antedotum
Antedotum founder Karina Perez Marconi was raised on the island of Puerto Rico (born to a Cuban dad and Puerto Rican mom), which meant consistent sun exposure from an early age—and cumulative sun damage for the Latina’s olive skin. For decades, Marconi was plagued by dark spots, which were compounded by lingering, postpartum melasma after the birth of her daughter, Havana. Working for many years in beauty at Chanel’s New York headquarters deepened Marconi’s understanding of premium skin care. But finding an antidote to her skin aliments remained elusive. When the family relocated to Aspen, Colorado, the unforgiving mountain climate of dry air, high altitude, wind, sun, and cold only intensified her skin conditions.
Colorado is where Marconi took her curiosity of CBD and its
purported curative abilities and started to sample an assortment of
oils and balms. None of them smelled or looked great, but to her
surprise, her skin started to transform. This unexpected discovery
evolved into Antedotum.
