The answer is yes, and we’ll illustrate this in the following interview with your team!

Laura Rueda: How would you define the Miss Weederful project? How did this initiative come about?

Miss Weederful: It's a positive way to see and live cannabis that could rub off on society! It’s a predominantly sativa attitude with touches of the south although it came into existence in the north. It’s a responsible, controlled explosion of cannabinoids which gives you a pleasant high.

“Family business”, a cannabis French comedy
