My story begins on 7/28/2018, when stage 4 prostate cancer was confirmed.

I was opposed to this method and chose to heal…
Due to an injury as a teenager, I have suffered from chronic lower back pain for over fifty-five years. I’ve been through surgery, physical therapy, chiropractors, injections, muscle relaxers, and other pills but while they all provided some temporary relief, none were a permanent solution.

It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with chronic Sialoliths (salivary gland stones), that my relationship with cannabis took a turn towards pain management and treatment. During 2005 the Sialoliths would cause infections in my right parotid gland, causing it to swell to the size of…
Debbi G. I was introduced to cannabis therapy four hours after I was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. My sister helped educate me on the high CBD (non THC) oils I needed and I immediately applied for my card so I could begin introducing high THC into the equation. In studies from Spain and…
August Patient Success Story: Martin J. My cannabis therapy began after multiple hospitalizations over 3 years and adverse reactions to the multitude of prescriptions given by the VA Hospital.
