Torn rotator cuffs. ACL and MCL tears. Shoulder separation. These are some of the most common injuries sustained on the football field. Pro players like former Detroit Lions wide receiver and 2021 NFL Hall of Fame inductee Calvin Johnson Jr. know these terms all too well. <\/p>\n
In his nine seasons in the top league of one the most demanding sports known to man, Johnson picked up more than a few knocks, leading to chronic pain and inflammation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cannabis\u2019 unique properties allowed Johnson and his teammates to medicate naturally, avoiding the myriad pitfalls associated with opioid treatment. For Johnson, it was a logical process to take the passion he has for the plant and turn it into a business that could help communities experience the same healing that enabled him to get back on the field week after week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why, when he retired from an illustrious career that saw him become one the greatest wide receivers of all time, he turned to cannabis cultivation and retail.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a passion for cannabis since I started using it when I was in the league,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI knew there was some healing behind it because it kept me away from the opioids and what was prescribed for the most part in those days. For one, they didn\u2019t sit well with me. But I always was in the mindset of putting natural things into my body. So cannabis being one of those things, I really believe in the healing powers.\u201d<\/p>\n
