Paul Romano

I am longtime cannabis enthusiast. In 2013, while working for a craft brewery which fully supported my personal use, I was finally able to express my love for the plant on a professional level. My voice regarding cannabis was therefore emboldened, and I quickly became ‘that guy’ at the work functions, carrying my wife's tasty homemade edibles in a red cooler bag and freely sharing with fellow cannabis-friendly colleagues. Suffice it to say, those were certainly FUN times! I am  a daily cannabis consumer, utilizing it for chronic back pain, as a sleep aid, and in social settings as a mood booster.
