TORONTO – Marko Ivancicevic has relied on his medical marijuana prescription for more than a decade.
He was born with Fibular Hemimelia and clubfoot. He also has developed scoliosis and has had over a dozen surgeries in his lifetime.
“I was on prescription medication for a long time,” said Ivancicevic.
“Really heavy narcotic pharmaceuticals and I didn’t like the effect it gave me. It had a negative effect on my quality of life.”
Ivancicevic decided to make the switch to medical marijuana and has never looked back.
