Back when Gayle Quin was first learning about the healing properties of cannabis, she decided early on to start growing her own plants. Raised in a church going Christian household in the amp;rsquo;60s, however, she faced judgment and punishment from her family. When Quinamp;rsquo;s mother discovered the plants growing in her daughteramp;rsquo;s cupboard, she threw them out and destroyed them. But Quin didnamp;rsquo;t let that stop her. She found more seeds, then planted her own private cannabis garden, hidden on a nearby knoll outside the house. She began reading every study she could find, she looked up recipes, she learned from friends and she began what would become a life long research project into the medical uses and healing properties of her plants. Quin has been billed by many as a kind of amp;ldquo;Pot Angel.amp;rdquo; With her gentle nature and soft spoken tones, sheamp;rsquo;s acted not only as a leading researcher and creator of the clubamp;rsquo;s vast lotions and potions, but also an impromptu counsellor, reflexologist and acupressurist to many of its clients.
