When Dr. Hanna Sisley’s health declined, she and her daughter, Dr. Sue Sisley, turned to botanical medicines for relief—and discovered a system stacked against access. Refusing to accept the status quo, they embarked on a decade-long fight against federal restrictions. Hanna’s life and advocacy inspired Sue to pursue legal action that secured the first privately held DEA licenses to cultivate high-quality cannabis and whole psilocybin mushrooms. Their triumph now fuels groundbreaking research and compassionate access, offering hope to veterans, the terminally ill, and countless others seeking dignity and healing at life’s most critical moments.
