My Story

Hi my name is Anita, and my journey with cannabis began due to the suffering from a gastrointestinal ailment, Ulcerative Colitis and going in and out of the hospital for over 10 years.  I can relate and am empathetic to all of those who have also gone through the high doses of prescription narcotics from opiates, steroids, and heavy hitter antibiotics. I was tired of being a slave to my own bowels.

I believe Cannabis is the missing link to countless undocumented medical breakthroughs. I’m passionate about researching, testing, and bringing my findings and patient testimonials to the forefront of medical research.

As the founder and CEO of CBD Genie and one of the Texas leading advocates, I am here to educate the science behind cannabis.
 

As an Air Force veteran, a Texas Tech alum with a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry and Spanish, certified Microbiology Technologist, and certified Essential Oils Coach I had no idea that my career, education, and unfortunate medical history would set the stage to educate the biochemistry of cannabis and how we respond to the beautiful plant.

Traveled all over the country doing walk throughs of cannabis analytical diagnostic labs, cannabis farms, and cannabis dispensaries.  Attended summits and science conferences, spoke with other luminaries in the field, and engaged in my own scientific studies.  I want to share the knowledge I have learned and hopefully inspire others to do the research.

The ailment that broke me down is now my strength, and I feel the healing power of sharing the science behind my cannabis testimony. I want to help others by getting involved! At CBD Genie, I am excited to have finally found my life calling, using my lab knowledge, scientific research and first-hand experience to demonstrate how Cannabis can help your body on its “Pursuit of Balance.”
