Medical cannabis is a huge issue with veterans, as it is often the most effective treatment for both pain and PTSD. So Dispense Magazine is proud to bring you profiles of veterans who are making waves in the cannabis industry by helping to make things better for other veterans.

In this episode, we talk with Erik Asher, a veteran of Desert Storm, who survived the darkest night of the soul to become a fierce proponent for the only medicine that actually works for him.

Erik tells the tale of that darkness and what brought him back to the light. Now on a fixed income, he has learned how to triple the yield of the dry flower he purchases in authorized Pennsylvania dispensaries with the help of a rosin press. 

This is a powerful story of survival, which includes some great tips for medical cannabis patients.

Recorded in March 2019 at Mind Body and Holistic Healing Expo in Monroeville.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
