Heather Donahue finds Success with New Career with Marijuana

Very few of us remain in the same career for our entire working lives.  It is now common to change career paths three or four times during a work life.  The Great Recession has forced or encouraged many of us to reinvent our self-marketing, although it is certainly not the only reason people are favoring more than one career lifespan.

While Hollywood is often accused as being out of touch with the working class, it seems even actors with success find themselves seeking occupational variety.  Heather Donahue, who starred in “The Blair Witch Project” and also appeared on “Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia” has decided to change direction and is now an author.  Her new upcoming memoir is titled “GrowGirl: How My Life After The Blair Witch Project Went to Pot.” In the book she describes the instant fame she received from the cult hit scary movie and the aftermath of trying to maintain an acting career.  After the Blair Witch Project, she summed up her career by saying “The acting projects I was lucky enough to work on weren’t always things that I felt good about putting out into the world.”

Her first major career change seems evident in the title of her book.  Heather Donahue spent a year in a place called “Nuggetown” with growers where she learned to cultivate marijuana.  After a close friend found trouble with Federal agents, Ms. Donahue pursued another yet safer career move.  We have seen more of a comfort zone in regards to members of Hollywood opening up about marijuana, but Heather Donahue offers an even more unique perspective.  She seems genuinely concerned with patients and was one herself.  In 2007 she was prescribed marijuana to treat symptoms related to PMS(Here is what our database recommends for PMS).  When questioned if she believed marijuana should be legalized she seemed conflicted.  Heather Donahue feels that while it would be unfortunate if corporations overpowered “mom and pop” growers, she thinks everyone should have safe access.

While we regret to hear that Heather Donahue may have had some emotional struggles after early acting success, we are thrilled to see her cut out a new niche for herself.  She described herself as “a solitary country girl” after her time in the limelight.  While we can definitely appreciate that, we hope she continues with her newfound success in writing.  Heather Donahue may be able to use her public persona as a way to draw more attention toward patient needs.
