Meet Dedee Culley, RN
Cannabis Nurse and Interpener
For Dedee Culley, her work as a cannabis nurse is far more than a job or career: It's a calling.
Culley grew up wanting to become a nurse and a teacher. Over 20 years ago, she was able to combine those two passions by becoming an RN and seizing opportunities to teach whenever she could. For Culley, there is nothing more invigorating than seeing someone's eyes light up when they realize they understand a new concept and are empowered to take control of their health and their life.
Her journey to become a practicing cannabis nurse began not long after she became an RN, although she learned about the healing power of herbs and other natural remedies from her grandmothers when she was a young girl and took it upon herself to study holistic and naturopathic therapies later in life. As an RN, she saw how patients benefited from medical cannabis use when more advanced medications failed. In 2014, she searched for a way to better manage the chronic pain and anxiety she'd dealt with for years and discovered that more holistic and naturopathic therapies, including cannabis, offered more hope than prescription medications had.
In 2018, she learned that cannabis helped children with various forms of epilepsy. Later that year came her biggest personal challenge: Her husband was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, terminal brain tumor.
"While we were beyond devastated, I knew first that God had a plan," she said. "I researched day and night to find what would provide the best hope. Again, I found cannabis. I also found other nurses doing what I knew I was called to do as well: be a cannabis nurse."
Culley's personal experiences have driven her passion exponentially to provide best practices and most successful methods to all medical cannabis patients.
