// Who They Are
A Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) patient from Colorado who appeared as a special guest on Hash Church Episode 52 (LI). Preston was formerly a patient at Harborside Health Center in California. He broke his arm at age 12 and was subsequently diagnosed with CRPS, a chronic neurological condition causing severe persistent pain. He was placed on pharmaceutical opioids and benzodiazepines before discovering cannabis as an alternative treatment. His testimony on Hash Church provided a powerful patient perspective on how cannabis concentrates can enable reduction of pharmaceutical dependency for chronic pain management.
