EP 43: Jorge Moral — How CBD Improved My Sleep Hygiene As a First Responder
Jorge Moral, a veteran firefighter for the past 30 years, used to think he had a drinking problem. It’s something many firefighters struggle with — turning to the bottle in response to on-the-job stress and, in more extreme cases, trauma and PTSD. Only for Jorge, he realized it wasn’t actually a drinking problem he had. It was a sleeping problem.
“I was using alcohol to try to go to bed because I went two or three years of just taking naps,” he says. “I would take a nap at night, maybe a couple of hours, and that’s it.”
Ultimately, Jorge decided to try CBD to treat his insomnia — and he’s never looked back. On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary and Jorge talk about the ways CBD has helped him with his recovery as a first responder, the coping mechanisms it’s allowed him to let go of (including Adderall), and why he sees CBD as a piece of the puzzle (but not the entire answer).
What You’ll Learn:
- The role CBD played in his recovery when Jorge (drunkenly, at a wedding) decided to donate his kidney
- What else he’s turned to, besides CBD, to improve his sleep hygiene
- Why it’s important that more first responders have stigma-free access to CBD and THC
- And much more!
