Behind every pot plant and product is a person, and every one of us has a personal story of how and why we came to cannabis. For Jack Hudson, CEO of the Ermont Dispensary in Quincy, Massachusetts, it began with the horrific events of 9/11. After years of treating his PTSD with pharmaceutical drugs, he discovered the healing properties of marijuana in California, which lead to him opening his own dispensary, determined to provide access to others in need.
