Whether you call it marijuana, pot, weed, cannabis, or any of the dozens of other names, this ancient plant is here to stay. You may be all for it. You may be strongly against it. Or you may have more questions than a four-year-old at bedtime.

Angie Roullier has spent the past 14 years in the cannabis business arena, and she’s found that most people have very basic questions when it comes to cannabis and how it works in “real life.”

The answers to these questions are out there; it’s just that most are not in plain English, nor are they all in one spot.

Pot for the People is here to help you sort some of it out, with history, science, and stories from Roullier’s personal interactions with medical marijuana patients, vendors, shop owners, and scientists.
