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

!["My name is Ariel Monroe and I’m a 35 year old non-binary Healing Artist living outside of Philadelphia.
I was exposed to a great deal of others’ [unprocessed] trauma: emotional and sexual trauma as well as domestic violence. I discovered that cannabis helped to help calm and soothe my brain and muscles; to ease pain, stress and tension; and has helped with nausea from dysmenorrhea over decades.
It has helped me process through life’s less than pleasant experiences; celebrate and enjoy many moments shared with others; and has helped me express myself authentically and artistically time and time again. It’s helped me care less about what others think; promote effective alternatives to pharmaceuticals; and give way to a new era of healing with CBD, CBG, and MCT. In times when I didn’t want to be alive or to take another step, I used cannabis to help keep me breathing, eating, and caring for myself; it has helped me feel connected, interested in creating, and find hope in dark times.
Part of my story is that both of my parents are disabled both mentally and physically; I grew up in a chaotic and unstable household. I remember being acutely aware when I was around 10 that I didn’t identify with my biological gender and that the expression of my gender and sexuality was not typical. Giving abundant thanks to my grandparents’ summer camp; I had access to people of all ages, races, backgrounds, beliefs, and sexual preferences with open forums for conversation which made me feel comfortable and easy from a young age to express myself. In my teens, twenties, and thirties I explored sexuality and defined myself and my preferences with fluidity. I’ve embraced mindfulness, positivity, and having a peaceful proactive lifestyle and cannabis has been instrumental."
