Buckle up for an intense yet informative and enlightening episode 34 with cancer survivor and cannabis advocate Danielle Gilliam. Trigger Warning: In this episode, we talk about cancer, medical procedures, mental health and using natural medicines compared to Opioids. She gives incredible insight into her journey of being diagnosed with Chordoma, a rare type of bone cancer in the spine, to getting multiple surgeries and procedures to remove it, learning to walk again, and finally her success with using cannabis and psilocybin to ween off of her prescribed (and incredibly addictive) Opioids for pain. She is a warrior, to say the least.
