The Truth In Cannabis Podcast

On this episode of the Truth In Cannabis Podcast, Joaquin sits down with one of his long-time case studies, Erica Valdez, to review her medical journey and how CBD has played it's part along the way. Erica is an actor, who deserves the opportunity to be able to practice and perform comfortably while faced with chronic illness. Most of us take for granted our ability to perform normal activities, while Erica is grateful to be able to go on a hike, or climb stairs, and have a taste of the quality of life that she deserves. This podcast take's a deep look into the patient perspective when managing chronic illness and gain perspective that many in the industry often overlook. This is what it's all about. Cannabis research still has a long way to go, but stories like Erica's make the push well worth the effort. Erica can be reached at https://www.instagram.com/ericancole/
