Ashley Elsner was able to find relief from her chronic pain condition (CRPS Type two) using cannabis. This plant medicine was the only thing that helped her, even after trying just about everything else. Being a patient led her to take interest in the cannabis industry and coming from a financial background, she immediately focused on the banking problems the cannabis industry is facing.
Ashley studied economics in college and went directly into merchant banking afterward. Her fairly new company ArteryPay works similarly to Venmo - but for weed!

Last week we talked with Andrew Scheyer, a Neuroscientist that studies the effects of cannabis use during pregnancy. This week we continue to talk about CBD, Cannabis Research, Cannabis use during Pre-Pregnancy, and a look into the future of cannabis medicine.

To Recap Last Week:
The studies have looked at 800+ people and have studied pregnant mothers and children in some cases through adulthood. In looking at collected data since 2002 - today, we have learned a couple of things:
- Cannabis Use in Pregnant Women is Rising
- Cannabis use during pregnancy can cause deficits to social learning as well as the way in which we learn (Temporal Order Learning)
- Cannabis Use during pregnancy can cause children more likely to exhibit symptoms of social disruption
- Molds and microtoxins are very common in cannabis flower and it is hard to know what you are consuming
- CBD is not without risk to pregnant women, although the research is difficult
- CBD potentially has some really great uses like treating epilepsy and addiction - but Andrew would not recommend taking it during pregnancy
