The company has experienced great expansion across the country in its support not only of veterans in need of post-service recovery but in treating people with chronic pain and other illnesses. As attitudes and legalities surrounding marijuana start to dramatically change, Mike joined me to talk about where MFT came from, his own experience with recovery, and his hopes and plans for the future of the company.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3002\"><a
