Yolanda Bennett Email and Phone Number

Yolanda “The Herbal Trucker” Bennett Co-Founder & Vice Chairman of Georgia Medical Cannabis Society Inc. Yolanda Bennett better known as The Herbal Trucker has been a cannabis advocate for more than seven years. Her passion comes from being forced out of the logistics and trucking industry due to a medical condition created from prescribed pharmaceuticals that caused damage to her organs and skeletal system. Even though Yolanda loved trucking and became a disabled truck driver, she still needed medication and could not use what she felt was the best option for her; cannabis. Although her happiest days were behind the wheel, she retired as a truck driver and began the journey of advocacy.In 2018, Yolanda co-founded the Georgia Medical Cannabis Society Inc. to serve the community and satisfy her passion for accessibility and financial feasibility for medical cannabis. She decided she needed to enter the battle of freeing this plant from the grasp of those who shamed and criminalized this tree of life. As a former Correctional Officer, she has seen with her own eyes people lose their freedom and have their futures altered due to the possession of cannabis, and she has chosen to join the fight to normalize consumption and usage of this healing plant.Her mission has grown and evolved into a podcast powered by The CannaShame Network called the CannaShame Podcast which Yolanda is the co-owner and co-host. The CannaShame Podcast focuses on removing and destroying the stigmas associated with the use of cannabis. Yolanda also has a graphics company, YLB, which includes video editing, website creation, and content creation in the form of memes and graphics for social media. This amazing advocate has passion and drive which has led to her success. Yolanda is married, born and raised in Georgia, and enjoys the complexity of politics on a local level.
