There is nothing worse for a parent than to watch their child suffer. That is where we find ourselves, however, when it comes to our son Jamie. Jamie was born here in Israel two-and-a-half years ago with severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy, which left him with brain damage. We could only watch as our son [...]
I have over six herniated, ruptured or bulging discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, and pinched nerves in my arms from years operating a moving company. I live in Florida, and as many know our pain pill epidemic has reached epic proportions. I was prescribed over 100 Percocets per month and only after experiencing the pain-receiving benefits [...]

I was never a fan of marijuana. By the time I was in junior high, I thought I was. I tried to be, because ‘ya gotta’ be cool, right? At age 12, my older brother forced me to smoke a joint with him. I was scared to try it, but at 16 years old, bossy [...]
My name is Diane and my CBD story started just before my 40th birthday when I received news no woman wants to hear: You have breast cancer. A friend of mine suggested I start using hemp oil shortly after my diagnosis and before my mastectomy. In addition to the calming effect it had on me, [...]
My name is James and I suffer from Parkinson’s disease. When I say I suffer from it, I mean I shake uncontrollably and suffer from extreme pain. My symptoms make it difficult to walk or speak properly and require me to take nearly 20 pills a day. Right now, my symptoms are more obvious than [...]
