Anne Hassel was a true marijuana believer, leaving her job as a physical therapist to enter the Green Rush as a budtender in a Massachusetts medical marijuana dispensary. After a year and a half of selling and consuming toxic, unnatural and harmful high THC products, she experienced heavy metal poisoning, Cannabis Use Disorder, and Cannabis Induced Psychosis. Concerned about the harm to others, especially the youth, she joined preventionists. Anne has testified before national and state authorities and politicians. She appears in the film Smokescreen https://vimeo.com/423459522/769e704993. Anne presented at SAM Summit in 2021 and is included in Dr. Kevin Sabet’s book "Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn't Want You to Know".
