What happens when a personal mission becomes a cannabis skincare company? Trevor and Kirk meet Jill Provencal and returning guest Ripley Halfyard of Alberta-based Blunt Botanicals. Jill shares how helping a close friend dealing with breast cancer, pain, and radiation-related skin problems helped inspire her journey into formulation and cannabis topicals. Ripley brings years of experience in cannabis licensing, compliance and business development. They explore Blunt Botanicals, Cosmic Cannabis, and HipBees, along with natural ingredients, from-scratch formulation, white-label manufacturing, and the importance of building a women-owned workplace that supports caregivers. Listen now for the story behind the products—and the people creating them.
