Episode 496: A Head Injury, Migraines and a Life-Changing Plant

About this episode

William Angolia shares his life-changing experience with cannabis after suffering a head injury and chronic migraines.

In 1985, William Angolia’s life changed in an instant after a devastating construction site accident left him with blunt force trauma to the head, permanent blindness in his right eye, and relentless migraine headaches caused by pressure inside the damaged eye. Once a successful construction engineer, William became bedridden, unable to work, and dependent on prescription medications that offered little relief. After years of suffering, a chance encounter in a doctor’s waiting room introduced him to the idea of using cannabis medicinally — something his doctors strongly discouraged at the time. What happened next would transform his life forever.
