Truly Medicine

Bryson Jones is a 10-year-old boy in Oklahoma and he manages Tourette syndrome like a champ. This kid is awesome.

He knows what he's doing and he firmly believes that cannabis is helping him function. Not only functioning as a “normal” child in Society. He is a loving, fun, and curious child and he loves sharing his knowledge with others.

Bryson has found something and he wants to share this with others so that he can help in his own way.

Brad served in the United States army and fought in Iraq. He struggled with PTSD and Depression. He was on many medications.

A story that Josh and I run into over and over again….. of why families get into the medicine side of cannabis.

Multiple family members in need of good, clean, and side-effect free medicine. The Modern medicine world not providing a solution other than a consequence based synthetic cash cow.

Finally, families coming together to provide a solution for a larger community.

Amy Bates from CBE Farms in Oklahoma join us today.

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be trapped inside of hole so deep that no one can hear you screaming for help?... and those that can hear, refuse to try to help you in your own way?

Today on the podcast we have Cassi Selby.

Not long ago Cassi was injured during a medical procedure. When some of her friends spoke with her Cassie truly believed she was killing herself one pill at a time.

The pain that she endured kept Cassi tied to an epidural while doctors tried to figure some things out.

Three years later she was helped by loved ones to obtain her medical card in Oklahoma.

With one single dosage of a concentrate she was able to see what life she has missed out on because of legality issues and the ability to choose the proper medication for herself.

Now Cassi is pain free. She is an outstanding advocate and influencer within the cannabis community. She has helped raise funds and more funds for Cancer research centers.

Retired Army Paratrooper, Dennis Ashby joins us.

Ashby was assigned to the Airborne Infantry and served the United Stated from 2004 to 2008.

While serving his country in Iraq for 5 months, Ashby was cowardly ambushed by an IED which exploded only a few feet away. Ashby was wounded by shrapnel from his knees to his head.

He has endured over 40 surgeries and is awaiting more.

Ashby was taking 10 prescribed medicines per day to deal with ailments ranging from PTSD to nerve pain.

Ashby is now on ZERO prescribed medications thanks to cannabis.

Today on the podcast we have Kayci Vandegrift.

47- year- old Kayci, has used cannabis in some form

since she was about 13.

She eventually turned to sobriety.

Kayci had been totally abstinent for years. That’s when back and neck pain came along. Then the introduction of prescription pain medication.

Then the day came when she could no longer supply her habit. She was forced to change in order to survive.

Kayci decided to quit cold turkey - and was sick for 40 days.

Then came the diagnosis of breast cancer...

Today on the podcast we have Ms. Dawna Johnson. She has been in nursing and medicine since 1993.

Today on Truly Medicine Sami Diffee is returning. For those of you that did not hear her first episode…. Sami has struggled with undiagnosed GI problems, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm, eating disorders, suicidal tendencies and more.

She is currently undergoing various holistic health practices…..especially those that involve cannabis.

We want to revisit with Sami as our audience has already discussed major benefits from listening to her journey.

Reina Barboza, the Soul Rebel, was originally diagnosed with a malignant melanoma back in August 2 thousand ten. She had surgery to remove the tumor in her left thigh, and was sent for a trial run to MD Anderson, which is a cancer center at the University of Texas. She was claimed cancer free .............. then fast forward eight years.

​

Reina was rushed to the hospital for what was thought to be a ruptured appendix , only to find out with a CT scan that her liver, lungs and abdomen were full of tumors.

She was told by the ER doctor to “find God” and was admitted into the hospital.

It was in complete shock to herself and her loved ones.

​

After a four day hospital stay she was released and was given a full body PET scan.

She lit up like a light bulb, the cancer was in her lungs, bones, liver, and abdomen.

Needless to say, their lives changed instantly. This is her story.
