“Going back to my story as a consumer… Yeah, I want legalization, I want [to] be able to have access to this plant. Maybe I don't agree with cannabis, but maybe I could find in my heart [that] it doesn't bother me that you like it. So let me be supportive of it whether I actually consume or not.” – Shayda Torabi
“We want to make sure what we the bottle is what it says it is. And I always love to highlight [that] as much as I'm in business for you guys, I'm in business for myself and I'm the consumer first. So, I want to make sure that the products are good.” – Shayda Torabi
“I think we all want to feel better, [get] better sleep, better rest, less inflammation, just [a] better mood. And I do think cannabis can be a key to that if you know how to use it and you have education and can properly navigate around it with great resources and great products.” – Shayda Torabi
