How These Women Are Healing Trauma With Cannabis | NowThis

Who is Jane?

Jane is any self-identified woman or non-binary person who chooses plant medicine to confront, process, and heal trauma.

Why?

There is immense stigma around discussing trauma. We believe cannabis can be both a bridge and a vessel in challenging that silence.

The Work

TIJP 2.0, relaunched in 2021, is now confronting the many unique barriers faced in the era of legalized cannabis through the following survivor-centered, accessible programming:

Survivor’s Without Access Compassionate Cannabis Program

MMJANE, Affordable Physician Recommendation Program

Monthly Healing Happy Hour Events

Quarterly Trauma-Informed Puff & Paint Workshops

It's Healing Happy Hour time, Jane!

Join This is Jane Project and Christy Tonel for a 90-minute trauma-informed mindful movement and meditative journaling session. Survivors will take a pause in their schedule to slow down with low-impact, body inclusive, and trauma informed breath work, meditation, and movement, followed by meditative journaling focused on affirming and reflecting on our experiences in a safe container. We will end with a gratitude closing circle.

Christy Andres Tonel is the founder of Compassionate Connections (@compassionate_connections) and provides trauma sensitive, healing centered, and accessible yoga to (BIPOC) Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. After a decade in public health non profit work, Christy switched careers to create spaces to access holistic health tools for communities that need healing and recovery.

**consumption encouraged
**registration req'd
**women and non-binary survivors only

“I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety since I was a teen due to childhood trauma. I never believed in pills or any type of medication. Once when I was having a breakdown one of friends said "here smoke a blunt and maybe you'll calm down a bit" and boy was she right! Since then I have been smoking cannabis and managed to cope with my mental illnesses, to a point that I don't suffer as much as I use to. I don't know what I would do without it!”

Hi, Jane!

We're excited to launch a call for Self Portrait Submissions from the TIJP community near and far.

For this campaign, Janes like yourself will have the opportunity to share their black & white portraits and stories and be featured on This is Jane Project's website and social channels.

Sharing your story can be a fulfilling, yet heavy experience. For this reason, anonymous submissions are also welcome.

Portraits should be taken in front of a solid black background wearing a solid black shirt without logos or designs.

✨✨ Submit yours in our bio ✨✨

We're excited to see your faces and hear your stories of hope and healing with cannabis!

In Healing,

This is Jane Project

Anyone else find themselves oversharing in certain social situations? If so, you're not alone.

We tend to overshare when we feel isolated and are looking to feel heard and validated. For many of us, oversharing is an all too common trauma response.

While we may be looking to connect with others, the truth is that when we disclose inappropriate information (and details) about your personal life or past traumatic experiences, we can end up pushing people away.

It's important to understand which situations prompt us to overshare. When we're uncomfortable with silence, trying to identify with the person we're speaking with, or simply seeking to connect deeper with someone, we may be tempted to share deeper parts of ourselves before it's healthy or safe.

Knowing who you can and can't share with, and when, is paramount to navigating the tendency to overshare.

Wishing board President, @mskindnessb, the happiest of birthdays from the entire This is Jane Project team! We couldn’t do this work without you.

May this trip around the sun be rejuvenating, relaxing, and reflective. You deserve it!

Ever avoided a conversation because the thought of having it seemed more painful than keeping it to yourself?

Yup.
Trauma response.

Emotional avoidance is a common reaction to trauma and serves as a way for survivors to escape painful or difficult emotions. The problem with this trauma response? The longer we hold the painful thoughts, feelings, and emotions in, the longer we hurt.

That’s why hard conversations are the exact conversations we need to be having.

First with ourselves.
Then others.

For many of us, cannabis levels us out. We're not consuming cannabis to get "high". We depend on cannabis to get “less low” and feel more balanced.

We're overjoyed to announce that our compassion program, Survivors Without Access, is coming to Denver, Colorado!

If you are a Colorado resident, identify as a woman or non-binary trauma survivor, and could use a donation of compassionate cannabis, this opportunity is for you!

Must register, be 21+ and be able to go to L’Eagle Dispensary located in Denver, Colorado between April 24th and 27th.

To remain compliant, the donated medicine will be sold to you at the store for a penny ($.01) for each unit, and you will walk away with your daily legal limit of purchasable THC milligrams.

Shifting is uncomfortable, but it’s necessary for growth. Necessary to rise.

Join TIJP for our Monthly Healing Happy Hour event series. This month we're excited to have DeJanae Evins for an evening of trauma-informed sound healing. This is a virtual event so you can share space from the comfort of your home.

The intention for this session is to release trauma and allow for participants to experience safety in their bodies. The process of healing and recovering doesn't mean reconnecting with our traumatic experience, but allowing sound to be a helpful tool to release physical and emotional pain. This practice invites you to notice how you hold stress and trauma in the body. For those of us who have been directly or indirectly impacted by trauma, this is an opportunity to attune to and identify with the healed versions of ourselves.

HR 3617, aka the MORE Act, passed the House of Representatives on April 1st and now is on its way to the Senate.

The MORE Act would remove Cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, ending the 52 year prohibition on Cannabis. It would legalize possession of cannabis at the federal level, expunge past convictions and would include an Opportunity Trust Fund to uplift communities harmed by the war on drugs.

Survivors across America are depending on the federal decriminalization of cannabis to consume their natural medication of choice without risk of prosecution.

Prohibition of this plant medicine must end. Survivors depend on it.

How can you help? By contacting your Senator and voicing your support of HR 3617 The MORE Act!

"Cannabis makes me a better Mom. If my Mom could’ve had cannabis regularly maybe she wouldn’t have become an alcoholic as a single parent. It changes things. By me vocalizing the benefits of plant medicine, that there are different ways to consume, I was doing the long push on my Mom for years. I was just like, you have aches and pains and there are ways you can use this plant without feeling high. She slowly got into CBD and honestly, it made me cry."
