Public Advocacy, Speaking, appearances
As a chronic pain patient following a motor vehicle accident, I spent the next 15 years slowly poisoning my body with doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals that didn't even touch my severe, unrelenting chronic pain and caused more problems with my health.
At the time there was nothing else available.
As soon as Louisiana legalized medical marijuana (MMJ), I signed up.
MMJ has changed my life and I have been spreading the word ever since, hoping to spare anyone else the pain.
Volunteer Advocacy
It’s Important
Because this is a new treatment, education is key and I urge people to find a doctor that specializes in MMJ (you wouldn't go to a foot doctor for your brain!).
I advocate for a physician designed transition protocol to help patients transition from opioids to MMJ. I also advocate for both a state and national MMJ Patients' Bill of Rights to protect medical patients from the ever-changing recreational market.
