Kyle Kingsbury retired from mixed martial arts last year following a lost to Patrick Cummins at UFC on FOX 15 and the Ultimate Fighter alum recently appeared on a video about cannabis use.
Kingsbury (11-6, 1NC) discussed how he uses cannabis to deal with pain and how it has made his a better partner, person, and father.
“In the subject of pain management, when you compare what pharmaceutical companies are pushing on to people and what mother nature has created,” Kingsbury said. “There is no comparison and how many people die of an overdose from these every year. There are no overdose deaths with marijuana. Being retired, I can certainly come out and say there are many more of us using cannabis as a means to heal and as a means for all of the positive benefits that cannabis can offer.”
“Two orbital blow outs. I have torn my right knee twice. Tore my labrum once that required surgery,” Kingsbury continued to say in the video above. “I have had my jaw broken in two places. Fractures in this eye. This [cannabis] allows me to get the most out of life and make me a better partner. A better person and a better father. I feel with cannabis, I will be able to do that the rest of my life.”
