When pain is constant, medicine becomes sacred. So what happens when the system takes it away?

Sharna lives with fibromyalgia, a condition that brings relentless, widespread pain. Through trial and error, she found relief with legal medical cannabis - until she enters the hospital. Each time she’s admitted for care, her cannabis is confiscated and she’s put back on opioids, a medication that makes her violently ill.

In this deeply personal conversation, Sharna shares the physical and emotional toll of being denied the medicine that works for her. It’s a story of resilience, 21 and the ongoing battle for patient rights in a system that still hasn’t caught up with the science - or the humanity.

I’m grateful to Sharna for her time today so lets spark up this conversation
