When Dee’s story first reached the media, it sparked widespread discussion—and confusion—around cannabis oil, the natural remedy she credited as part of her personal healing journey. The Daily Mail published a double-page feature about her experience, but placed a Holland & Barrett CBD advert beside it, creating the impression that Dee had used CBD products rather than cannabis oil.
The result was a wave of misunderstanding across the UK, as many readers believed CBD and cannabis oil were the same thing. Dee was heartbroken to see people misled, knowing how vital it is to differentiate between the two. It took five years for the publication to issue a small correction—long after the damage was done.
Determined to set the record straight, Dee began speaking publicly through interviews and podcasts to educate others on the differences between cannabis oil and CBD. While both interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, their composition and legal classification are entirely distinct. Dee has since made it her mission to ensure clear, responsible education on plant medicine, so others can make informed, safe, and empowered choices for their wellbeing.
