In 2011, my life changed when my son accidentally overdosed on my pain medications. Battling cancer for two decades, I’ve undergone over 100 surgeries and tried various medications. After losing my son, I sought alternatives and turned to Medicinal Cannabis, which proved effective in managing my pain. Motivated by this experience, I began advocating for Medicinal Cannabis at the State Capitol to help others. Despite the daily pain and loss, I remain committed to preventing similar tragedies for other families.
