Founder & owner of
Compassinate Alternative, Medicine Dispensary
& The OMCIRC
by Laura Madison
I recently sat down with Ms. Ashleigh Rosson, a new dispensary owner in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma af-
ter being contacted by a good friend in Oklahoma City prompting me to do so based on a story Channel
6 News had just covered regarding her opening. Upon meeting her, her energy was spiritually inviting &
she began with such depth & compassion in her words I was immediately moved with every word that
poured her intense purpose. Ms. Rosson shared that she was teaching in Dubai when the news came
that a close family member had passed away due to a recently diagnosed case of Epilepsy. Devastated
& shaken to the core, she returned to the United States, with a mission for changing health care. Her
fiercely intense purpose , became her passion. She spent time researchii
the possibilities of what could have be handled differently to avoid this
utterly tragic & unexpected loss. Along the way she met a woman by the
name of Liz McDuffie who lived in Pasadena, Califorinia that quite liter-
ally & forever changed Ashleighs life. She discovered the full spectrum of
medical conditions being managed with Medical Marijuana, as well as the
many proven health benefits that CBD & Medical Marijuana are provide.
Liz, her 75 year old mentor told her that she would give her the knowl-
edge & the tools to get
where she wanted to
go but asked her to
promise one thing, “that when she opened a dispen-
sary that she would also open a community resource
center for educating patients & the community. She
gathered as many resources & as much knowledge
as she could, & that is exactly what she did. Com-
passionate Alternative Medicine & The Oklahoma
Medical Cannabis Information Resource Center are
now open in Broken Arrow Oklahoma.
