Marijuana Growing Guide

A Journey to Safe, Natural Pain Relief with Medical Marijuana

For many years, I pushed my body to its limits in the wrestling ring. As a pro wrestler without health insurance (this was before the Affordable Care Act/ Obamacare), wrestling three to four times a week was both a passion and a livelihood, but it came with a cost. Eight and a half years of constant action took a toll on my body. While I took a few months off in 2005, otherwise, I never stopped. Wrestling was what I did. However, by 2008, after a hard fall during a missed dive, I found myself struggling with severe pain. I turned to opioid painkillers, and it seemed like the only option at the time.

But opioids can be dangerous. I wasn’t prepared for how quickly they took control of my life. I started depending on them, mixing them with other substances just to numb the constant pain. Over time, I noticed how these pills were changing me. I was snapping at promoters, distancing myself from the people around me, and becoming someone I didn’t recognize. Physically, mentally, and even financially, I was falling apart. Wrestling through that pain wasn’t sustainable. Finally, by the fall of 2009, I reached a breaking point. I knew I needed another solution—something safer, something that could bring me back to who I was.

That’s when I learned about California’s medical marijuana program. This was back when dispensaries were still a new concept, but they represented a chance to reclaim my life. I went to see Dr. Sonia Patel in Hollywood and received my recommendation, and it changed everything for me. Medical marijuana helped me step away from the pills that had nearly cost me everything. It saved my life by providing relief without the risks and dependencies of opioids, especially today, with the dangers of fentanyl.

Now, years later, I’ve taken what I’ve learned and put together a guide that can help others find that same safe relief. My eBook, Marijuana Growing Guide, is now available on Amazon Kindle. This book covers everything you need to know about growing your own medical marijuana, whether you’re interested in pain relief, relaxation, or even high-CBD strains for those who want the medicinal benefits without the “high.”

In the eBook, I explain why low-THC, high-CBD strains are a great option for safe pain relief. These strains are non-intoxicating and have helped countless people manage pain, anxiety, and even inflammation naturally. And if you’re not sure where to start, the guide links to trusted seed companies that provide legal, high-quality seeds—so you can start growing strains tailored to your needs.

As someone who has been through the highs and lows of managing chronic pain, I know how valuable a safe, natural alternative can be. Medical marijuana has become a lifeline for so many of us, especially now when the risk of addiction to opioids is higher than ever. Growing your own marijuana not only ensures a reliable source but also puts you in control of your health and wellness journey.
