Donna Froncillo is a Medical Cannabis Patient | Utah in the Weeds #93

Episode 93 of Utah in the Weeds features Donna Froncillo, who uses Medical Cannabis to treat her cystic fibrosis. We started this episode with a discussion of Donna’s diagnosis of cystic fibrosis at age 42. Before her diagnosis, she suffered from several other health conditions that left her feeling confused about their cause. [02:10] After she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Donna started taking a large variety of medications. Within three years, she says, her doctors prescribed as many as 19 new medications for her. She says the meds interfered with her thoughts and moods, and she didn’t feel like herself. [06:27] Donna’s life began to change when a friend from California encouraged her to try a cookie made with canna-butter. The cookie relieved her pain and helped her sleep, so she decided to make cannabis part of her medical routine. Because she was on so many medications at the time, Donna checked herself into a mental hospital for help with weaning herself off most of her medications. She says she was able to stop using 13 of those 19 medications. [08:11] Donna says she prefers indica varieties of cannabis in tincture form, which she makes herself using cannabis flower and olive oil. Donna also uses a vaporizer when she needs fast-acting relief from headaches. [16:08] Donna also uses cannabis to reduce symptoms of stress, joint pain, colitis cramps, insomnia, and bone pain. [24:00] Donna talked about her initial experimentation with cannabis medicine, and the products and delivery methods that work best for her. [29:42] Tim asked Donna about the perception that cannabis can change a person’s self-identity. Donna says the real “her” disappeared when she was taking large amounts of prescription meds, and cannabis helped her feel like herself again. [34:41] We wrapped up this episode with a quick discussion of Donna’s favorite products for treating cystic fibrosis.
