Dr. Leroy welcomes Mark Reyes—father, podcast host, and creator of Puff Provisions—for a lively and enlightening conversation about modern plant advocacy, responsible use, and the evolving image of the everyday consumer.

Mark shares how a personal journey with recreational use turned into a full-blown passion project focused on education and destigmatization. As a dad and digital storyteller, he offers a fresh perspective on how people from all walks of life—including parents, professionals, and creatives—are using plant-based wellness for stress relief and balance. Joining the conversation is clinical herbalist Arianna Salazar, who brings her deep knowledge of natural medicine to the mic, discussing everything from infused salves to handcrafted cannabis mocktails.

Together, they explore what responsible use really looks like, why representation matters, and how the conversation needs to shift beyond the stereotypes. From the lingering stigma around scent to the political barriers of Schedule I classification, this episode pulls no punches—just perspectives.
