Cannabidiol widely known as CBD is a substance derived from the hemp plant. CBD is the active ingredient in cannabis that does not cause a high and is not addictive. What a win for concussion and brain injury survivors!
Today we have guest CBD entrepreneur and concussion survivor Colton Luther from Texas. Colton has dedicated himself to spreading awareness about the benefits of cannabis and it's safe uses to others. Listen in to hear about what led Colton to trying CBD as a desperate concussion survivor facing an overwhelming amount of symptoms. Colton digs deep into how addiction is often a path many survivors fall victim too. Finally we discuss the benefits of CBD and the various types available. Make sure you don't miss out on learning about this safe and effective option.
