Episode 457: The CEO Who Goes Blind in 7 Days Without His Own Cannabis Oils
Cannabis Health Radio PodcastShow Notes
When doctors told Al Morentin there was nothing they could do for his glaucoma, he refused to accept blindness as his fate. In this powerful interview, Al shares how he developed his own Rick Simpson Oil formulation—not only reversing his vision loss but also eliminating chronic migraines and pain. Today, he's the founder of Movida and My Fit Life, helping thousands transition off pharmaceuticals using cannabis medicine. But if Al stops taking his oil for even a week, he goes blind again.
His story is one of resilience, innovation, and the life-changing potential of plant medicine.
