Seasoned cannabis traveler and prolific writer
Seasoned cannabis traveler and prolific writer, Ms. Veronica Castillo has captivated audiences with her compelling narratives. With over 200 published works, she has illuminated the rich stories of the historical Emerald Triangle, the Midwest, Eastern and Southern United States, and the vibrant Caribbean region.
Ms. Castilloโs personal journey with cannabis began as a path to healing, helping her transition away from prescription medications and embrace natural medicine for enhanced health and well-being.
This transformative experience sparked her passion for writing and led her to build meaningful connections with farms across the U.S. and the Caribbean. Through her vivid storytelling, she has become a voice for these communities, sharing their unique histories and practices with the world.
Her rise as an inspiration to young writers, especially on her home countries of USA ๐บ๐ธ and Puerto Rico ๐ต๐ท, is a testament to her resilience and dedication. Cultivating a successful career as a cannabis traveler, Ms. Castillo immerses herself in scenic landscapes and local heritage to document the culture of cannabis regions.
However, her journey was far from easy. In her early days, she often slept in her car to save on travel expenses and faced skepticism about the dangers of her work as a woman exploring rural communities alone.
Despite these challenges, Ms. Castillo persevered. Today, she serves on the Board of Directors at the Minority Cannabis Business Association in Washington, DC, where she uses her platform as a communications strategist to uplift underrepresented communities and advocate for equity in the industry.
As we celebrate this third segment of Women in Cannabis Tourism and Hospitality, let us honor Ms. Veronica Castillo and her remarkable contributions. Her passion, resilience, and dedication continue to inspire others and amplify the voices of those who often go unheard. Join me in celebrating her impactful journey and the legacy sheโs building for future generations.
