Hank Pruett

Hank Pruett has worked the same Johnson County ranch his grandfather homesteaded in 1919, and his body shows forty years of it. He didn't come to cannabis looking for a lifestyle change — he came to it because a herniated disc during calving season left him unable to sleep more than four hours a night and unwilling to stay on the tramadol that was making him too foggy to do his job right. His daughter's topical salve, applied by his wife without asking permission, changed that. He writes plainly about what works and what it costs, because he knows there are ranchers and farmers across the region hurting in silence and too stubborn to ask.
