Meet Nurse Mo
Maureen 'Mo' Smyth, BSN RN, has dedicated her career to patient care. From treating spinal cord-injured veterans to traveling the country as a nurse, she’s seen the U.S. healthcare system’s challenges firsthand.
Decades of experience revealed three truths:
Burned out and facing deep losses, Mo studied the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), used it to recover, and found the inspiration to pivot to cannabis care. She went on to found Cannabis Public School (CPS), an open platform dedicated to teaching the science of how cannabis works in the body. Through CPS, Mo empowers individuals with real-world, evidence-informed cannabis education that promotes wellness, advocacy, and a holistic approach to care.
Decades of experience revealed three truths:
- The U.S. healthcare system is in crisis.
- The population is aging poorly.
- Profits often outweigh patient care.
