Webber, two medical cannabis patients from Nevada who, like Eva, have found a new quality of life thanks to medical cannabis. Andrew is a patient living with Parkinsonism, Chronic Fatigue, and Chronic Migraines, and thanks to cannabis, is no longer wheelchair-bound, but enjoys a healthy life practicing swimming, yoga, cycling, and boxing. Mary was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis -MS- nine years ago and through medical cannabis has found alleviation for intense nerve pain and muscle spasticity. Also on this heartfelt show, neurologist Dr. Stephanie Jackson discusses the use of medical cannabis as a holistic and alternative path to pharmaceuticals. Tune in to hear real stories from real patients and the doctor who has the courage to treat them, only on Everyday Cannabis with Eva Sativa.
