Hi, I’m Lisa Nguyen – I’m a trained pharmacist and founder of Astrid.
In our 4 short years, my team and I have helped over 20,000 patients – patients who are suffering, who are seeking meaningful treatment, who are at times labelled “stoners”.
Sometimes in passing. Sometimes as a joke. More recently, in the media. These words are hurting my patients.
The way we use language is powerful.
Let patients feel respected, not reduced. Let patients be seen, not shamed. They are humans, too — just like you and me.
By changing our language, we are breaking the stigma.
By changing our perception, we are moving the stereotype.
In doing so, we can create positive social change.
Join me in my mission to foster a community where we break down stigma and help patients feel empowered in their decision to include holistic regimes into their routine.
It’s time we normalised this conversation.

We’d love your support.
