Leaving the Clean Water Act for the clean water of Colorado, Deborah moved west to pursue the practice of law. An accomplished artist and designer, and an avid animal lover, Deborah competes in the equestrian sport of dressage and fosters rescue dogs, to date helping over 50 dogs and puppies find their forever homes. Her years of service on the board of a major charitable foundation contributed to significant awareness and advances in animal health research.

"Wear the hat of a regulator. In the current CBD space where federal and state legalities are unclear, and FDA regulation looms large, the companies that will succeed will set their own high standards for product quality, analytical testing, labeling, marketing, and customer service." - Deborah Carter

To date, Lolita has personally trained doctors, nurses, and therapists from over 20 states who now have the ability to pass on their cannabis knowledge to their communities nationwide. In addition, Lolita created the Cansoom platform to contain an online searchable directory of licensed medical professionals, which makes it easy for consumers to find and connect with the right consultant. As a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience, Lolita was the first person to write a cannabis educational book especially for nurses, “The Medical Cannabis Consultant's Handbook”, she is also the author of “The Medical Cannabis Consultant Explained”, and “Your Cannabis Consumption Journal”. In 2018, Lolita launched a YouTube and IGTV channel, under the moniker Nurse Lolita, to expand her reach and teach as many people as possible about cannabis consumption while removing negative stigmas. Through her hard work and research, Lolita has made cannabis consumption safe for those who need it to cope with medical issues while also giving medical professionals the opportunity to learn about healthy cannabis consumption, own their own business, and become cannabis advocates.   Check out Cansoom: https://www.cansoom.com Follow Cansoom: https://www.instagram.com/cansoom_official/
