Amanda Gould’s ongoing health problems have driven her to consider suicide at several points during her life. Although she has the support of her husband and family, the chronic pain from fibromyalgia and other conditions have made her life miserable. Gould admits to using medical marijuana to ease her pain, and she understands she violated the terms of her probation for a separate DUI incident by turning to this type of treatment. However, she explains that traditional medications have not been able to help her, so she desperately turned to an alternative.

Gould was arrested for testing positive on a drug test administered due to her probation after a DUI incident.

Nevertheless, she says she is simply grateful to be able to return home after spending time in the Pasco County jail.
