09: Cannabis advocate, Debbie Wilson PhD, shares her tragic story of how multiple brain injuries ravished her body and mind and how cannabis saved her life. Part I
In episode nine, I have the honor of talking with Debbie Wilson PhD, a woman whose very life was saved by cannabis. She has been writing and sharing brain injury, epilepsy, and PTSD poems and prose for the past two decades.
Debbie is a 26 year survivor of multiple brain injuries which caused her to have severe epilepsy and post-traumatic stress disorder. She has clinically died multiple times and, as a result of consuming massive quantities of pharmaceuticals, she had literally lost everything…her health, her organs and her memory, and if it wasn't for her son, Cody, she would have been institutionalized.
Today Debbie is a brain injury and medical cannabis consultant with Noahs Ark Consulting and is successfully involved in a medical cannabis and epilepsy trials.
Debbie's story is tragic, heartbreaking, infuriating and ultimately inspirational and triumphant. It is my great honor to present to you this 2-part series in which Debbie shares her full, intimate story. This interview affected me very deeply. You need to hear this.
