Episode 360: A Tragic Diving Accident Left Him A Paraplegic

While out with friends in 1990, Mark Mathew Braunstein jumped into a pool of water that resulted in a spinal cord injury that left him a paraplegic. As a result of his injury, he suffers spasms that are alleviated with the use of cannabis. Besides being the state of Connecticut's poster child for the legalization of medical marijuana from 1997 until its passage into law in 2012, Mark is a prolific writer, having written several books on health and dieting and he has some very interesting tidbits from his new book "Mindful Marijuana Smoking."
