What happens when a cannabis-loving marketer meets a visionary entrepreneur with a bag full of pre-rolls? You get Gold Leaf—a brand built on love, wellness, and the power of writing things down. Valerie Viramontes and Adan Perez are on a mission to help people understand their cannabis journey through beautifully designed journals made for patients, pet owners, home cooks, and curious beginners alike.

In this episode of Cannabis Enlightened, Dr. Leroy digs into their story—from overcoming trauma to launching a business that puts education front and center. The duo explains how journaling can reveal what works, what doesn’t, and how to become your own best health advocate. Whether it’s easing anxiety, boosting intimacy, or just tracking how long that edible actually lasted, their tools are helping people tune into their bodies and take charge of their wellness.

You’ll also hear about how Gold Leaf’s reach has expanded globally, with products now featured in dispensaries, vet clinics, and even cannabis museums. It’s a fun, feel-good conversation packed with insights—and just the right amount of mischief.
