Don Wormald is a NSW Premiers Award winner, entrepreneur and passionate community activist. When he was 16, Don broke his spine in a surfing accident and has been living with constant pain ever since.

After 50 years attempting to manage his pain with powerful opioids and anti-inflammatories, Don sat down to tell us how medical cannabis has helped him find a new lease on life.


Don's story is similar to those told to us by more than 3000 patients using medical cannabis to treat their chronic pain. If you think medical cannabis could help you manage your chronic pain, book an appointment with your local GP or a dedicated medical cannabis clinic.
