This week, hear the inspiring story of how cannabis played a role in the life of the ultimate survivor, Ethan Zohn.

Ethan grew up in Massachusetts and played pro-soccer in Hawaii, Cape Cod and Zimbabwe. In 2003, he won the third season of the reality TV show "Survivor." Ethan took his million-dollar prize and launched a nonprofit to raise money and awareness in the fight against the AIDS epidemic in Africa. He started appearing on a long list of reality competition TV shows, he was hosting a NatGeo travel show, and commentating on soccer on ESPN. Ethan was thriving. Then, in early 2009 at age 35, he was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer.

With the help of underground dealers, Ethan used cannabis to help him deal with the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. After twice beating cancer, he turned to CBD to help with his mental health and anxiety while in remission. Now a lifelong athlete and cannabis advocate, Ethan uses the plant to prepare, perform and recover from marathons, he's rounding up fellow cancer patients and survivors for a University-backed cannabis study, and he's helping medical marijuana patients find better guidance from doctors online.
