E63: Bringing Cannabis to the Food Industry with Jeremy Smith

Good Dudes Grow

It’s an uphill battle to create a venue for people to safely eat cannabis-infused food. But that’s exactly what Jeremy is doing: and that’s exactly the kind of work that’s turning the wheels of change around plant-based medicine.

Jeremy Smith is an entrepreneur who advocates for cannabis regulation changes in Canada. After a near-death experience which came from a reaction to prescription drugs, his doctors recommended he try cannabis. Ever since, he’s found plant-based medicine to increase his quality of life in many ways, from managing his Chrohn’s disease, to keeping on weight for bodybuilding. Right now, he’s the owner of Les Munchies, which works to bring cannabis into the Canadian food industry.

On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, hear the story of Jeremy’s journey from debilitating Chrohn’s symptoms to advocating for regulatory changes in the Canadian food industry. He has many goals he hopes to achieve in his work: finding solutions for others who have problems swallowing prescriptions, bringing cannabis into the mainstream for managing chronic illnesses, and destigmatizing smoking and edibles are just a few of those goals. Tune in to learn how Jeremy is working to break down the barriers around cannabis and bring the plant-based revolution to Canada.
