SERENE CBD – 5 Questions with Forbes Warren Bobrow
Warren Bobrow=WB: Where are you from? Why cannabis? Why CBD, over THC?
Erica Valker=EV: Where: I grew up in southern Wisconsin, my hubby and business partner Paul is from the Chicago area. We now live in Highland Park, IL a cool little arts community on Chicago’s “north shore.” I grew up water skiing on our lake and eventually went pro, skiing all over the world, including China and Australia. But we used to live in So-Cal and miss it terribly, these Chicago winters are for the birds!
