JOANNA RUSSELL

Meet Joanna Russell, a registered nurse who dedicated 15 years to bedside patient care before transitioning into the realm of medical cannabis caregiving. With over two decades of experience, Joanna has extensive experience advocating for the accurate dissemination of plant medicine options for patients.As the owner of Norumbega Provisions, LLC, Joanna continues her advocacy efforts, particularly for patient access to cannabis. Her commitment extends beyond her business, as she actively supports LD 1914 legislation, aiming to secure rights to alternative plant medicines here in Maine.Joanna's work in the cannabis space has taught her the importance of collaboration in developing successful, patient-centered state legal programs. Recognizing this, she's initiating a group for hopeful and potential business owners, from cultivators through Psychedelic Guides, to collaborate early to prioritize safe and affordable patient access as LD1914 or future Psilocybin bills work their way through the legislative process. Visit Joanna's table at Area A to learn more about the Psilocybin Service Industry Stakeholders of Maine and be a part of the legislative process before the opportunity to shape programs has passed.
