There are a lot of misconceptions.
With my mom, she was so anti[-cannabis].
That was monumental for me.
This show, it’s light and fun, but there’s a real groundbreaking element to it.
Number one, there are tons of essentially innocent people in jail because of it.
It’s been a catalyst for racism and prejudice for decades.
How hectic was it for you when when everything ground to a halt?
It’s really bad out there.
Our whole business is based around people.
This is festival season.
All my shows got canceled.
People forget it’s not just the artists.
It all has a domino effect.
At least you’re able to connect with people through this show.
I have a company calledBounty and Full.
I have olive groves here on the farm.
We’ve just been building a foundation of a product line as a foundation toward a restaurant.
That’s still the plan, everything just is at a halt right now.
[Laughs] Because it was brand-new there.
I don’t know, I’m a pioneer kind of woman.
Honestly, it was something that was way out of my comfort zone.
It was really my kids that were like “Do it!
So I did it!
