Freeman was in a vehicle accident that was so drastic; Paramedics had to use “the Jaws of Life” to cut him free from the car.
Aside from being mentally shaken up, the accident pretty much destroyed Freeman’s shoulder and the rest of his arm. Physicians tried to reconstruct his arm through surgeries, but they were unable to successfully repair the nerve damage he suffered.
With time and the help of medical cannabis, Morgan Freeman has learned to deal with his pain and ever since, cannabis has become a healing tool that he can’t live without.
