Episode 7 of Cannabis Voices is dedicated to the memory of George Gannon, the 30-year-old British man who sadly lost his battle to cancer in March this year.
Told through the words of his partner, Natalie, she bravely shares their journey through cancer, how the medical profession gave up on George, and how if it were not for Natalie's determination to find alternatives (which included cannabis), George would have died 18 months earlier.
I won't lie, Natalie's story makes for hard listening, the pain and grief are still present in her voice. But she is determined to keep George's memory alive.
George's story is just one of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients around the world who are hoping cannabis will work where conventional medicine has failed. Many have achieved extraordinary results, but it's a difficult path to take coming with all the dangers associated with sourcing cannabis oil (in high quantities) from the black market.
But it's also a story of hope. How in the midst of tragedy, love and community flourish.
