Mike Rita Sessions 11 - Naomi Poley

What can I say about this week's guest other then she has become a complete legend in Canadian Cannabis over the past decade for her incredibly well put opinions and her no hold back attitude.

I first met Naomi Poley, a retired nurse and current pot activist, in 2008 at the age of 18 and she must have been at least 50 years old and she could out smoke me so bad already that it was inspirational to watch and sesh with her. A millions stories, a million tokes and a million laughs I've had the honour of sharing with this long time activist and badass bitch! Enjoy!!!
