Conclusion
The couple's cannabis enterprise, Grace Health and Wellness,
aspires to be a phytopharmaceutical company. "That idea
came from the multifaceted approach that we saw which
was producing good results with people," Brambila said. "We
feel that plant medicine should be something that should be
researched, and should be identified and created and made
into medicines that are sold in the open market. We really
want to develop those therapies so that people can
find alternatives."
He said that cannabis should be part of a legaliza-
tion-and-access social movement. "If we don't do that, we're
going to lose a lot because we're not listening to the feedback
of the medical outcome anymore," he added.
DiMonda had a theory. "If we could find a politician where
it's either the politician or a family member who might have an
illness, and they openly turn to cannabis, that's when I think
that you will finally have more doors opening. Right now, politi-
cians are afraid to discuss any of this."
She had a final word for those cancer patients considering
cannabis—don't be afraid. "That's the biggest thing I tell people
is don't be afraid. You have a 50/50 shot. It can work or it can't.
The risk of that gamble is minute. If it's going to help, try it."
