Kicking AS – a Column by Andrea Wyckoff

Andrea lives in a little off-grid cabin on Mt. Shasta with her cat, dog, and a forest full of critters. She currently works on a cannabis farm with the nicest co-workers on the planet. Andrea has found medical marijuana to be a lifesaver for treating the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis and she feels so lucky to enjoy working in that industry, too.

She looks forward to sharing her adventures in "Kicking AS" with all of you.
