More than 11 years ago, Nature’s Perfect Hemp founder was experiencing pain in his right hand and went to see a doctor in his home state of CA. The treatment plan called for a rather routine cortisone shot in his hand. But instead of injecting into the joint, the doctor injected the cortisone into his vain, sending the anti-inflammatory agent straight up his arm and into his head. It eventually traveled through his entire body. Within five minutes, he was rendered immobile.
Months and multiple doses of steroids later, he was moving again but started tearing tendons, ligaments and muscles. The 10 years that followed were consumed by 19 operations on his right hand, both wrists, his right arm, left shoulder, left leg and left foot.
