Yolanda Bennett better known as The Herbal Trucker has been a cannabis advocate for more than seven years. Her passion comes from being forced out of the logistics and trucking industry due to a medical condition created from prescribed pharmaceuticals that caused damage to her organs and skeletal system. Even though Yolanda loved trucking and became a disabled truck driver, she still needed medication and could not use what she felt was the best option for her; cannabis. Although her happiest days were behind the wheel, she retired as a truck driver and began the journey of advocacy. In 2018, Yolanda co-founded the Georgia Medical Cannabis Society Inc. to serve the community and satisfy her passion for accessibility and financial feasibility for medical cannabis. She decided she needed to enter the battle of freeing this plant from the grasp of those who shamed and criminalized this tree of life. As a former Correctional Officer, she has seen with her own eyes people lose their freedom and have their futures altered due to the possession of cannabis, and she has chosen to join the fight to normalize consumption and usage of this healing plant. Her mission has grown and evolved into a podcast powered by The CannaShame Network called the CannaShame Podcast which Yolanda is the co-owner and co-host. The CannaShame Podcast focuses on removing and destroying the stigmas associated with the use of cannabis. Yolanda also has a graphics company, YLB, which includes video editing, website creation, and content creation in the form of memes and graphics for social media. This amazing advocate has passion and drive which has led to her success. Yolanda is married, born and raised in Georgia, and enjoys the complexity of politics on a local level.

PT. 2: WHEN MENTAL HEALTH BECOMES A WEAPON

Let’s make something clear: having a mental health diagnosis does not automatically make somebody dishonest, unreliable, or incapable of remembering what they experienced.

A diagnosis may explain certain struggles, but it does not erase a person’s voice, memory, or truth.

Too often, instead of addressing what happened, people say, “She’s crazy,” and use somebody’s mental health as a distraction from accountability.

That is not concern. That is deflection.

Some people will even intentionally provoke a reaction, wait for the person to respond emotionally, and then use that reaction as proof of the original lie.

Do not allow somebody’s diagnosis or emotional history to become an excuse for everyone else’s harmful behavior.

Mental health should never be weaponized to silence the person telling the truth.

Awakening ain’t always easy, but it’s necessary.

Stay tuned for Part 3.

PT. 1: THE EASIEST STORY ISN’T ALWAYS THE TRUTH

People often accept the first story they hear because believing it is easier than asking questions.

They hear that somebody is “crazy,” “difficult,” “unstable,” or always causing problems, and suddenly that becomes the entire explanation.

But what happens when the story has holes? Why are certain details missing? Why does the timeline keep changing? Why is the person being accused expected to explain every reaction while nobody examines the behavior that caused it?

Pay attention to the patterns.

Sometimes the person everyone calls “difficult” is simply the person who finally stopped accepting the lie.

The easiest story is not always the truth. Sometimes it is simply the story that was told first.

Awakening ain’t always easy, but it’s necessary.
