IPW 2019 Rising Star of the Year – Erica Daniels

Erica Daniels is the mother of a child with autism who is determined to give her son and family the highest quality of life possible. Erica’s life changed and gained a new purpose when her son was diagnosed with autism in 2007. After years of traveling the country seeing specialists, exasperating dozens of treatments for years with little or no success, Erica eventually discovered that natural treatments such as diet and medical cannabis dramatically improved the quality of life for her son and her entire family as a result. Erica Daniels is an internationally recognized medical cannabis activist, autism advocate, author, public speaker, and devoted mother.
