I recently attended the Southwest Cannabis Conference in Fort Worth and was interviewed by The Russ Beville Show. I shared about my upcoming book, Chronic Relief: A Guide to Cannabis for the Terminally and Chronically Ill.

I have had chronic pain for over 15 years.. After neck surgery 3-5 cervical felt pretty good about 5years.. Pain returned slowly worsening.. Athritis pain in lower back then to both hips entire back now.. Taking Tramadol 50-100mg a day over 10 years.. New doc wont fill it anymore.. Does not believe in pain meds..
So I want to try cannabis now..I have severe body pain 80% of the time now..
I wish that medical marijuana was legal in Utah. I have chronic pain from a back injury that I suffered years ago. In Utah, medical marijuana is illegal because of its “psychoactive properties.” It’s not a gateway drug. It actually could help me with my chronic pain. This blog describes some of the issues with marijuana law in Utah
