In those days, without much scientific research backing the cannabis plant, most viewed the natural herb just as harmful as any other street drug (cocaine, heroin, etc). Martinez, like most, heeded the government warnings, not knowing any better and to avoid any improper justice that may come with it.
Given the impression, he grew up on. Martinez didn’t tamper with cannabis until 2016. At this point, scientific breakthroughs at every turn were indicating the natural healing capabilities of the plant. The CBD market erupted in the mixed martial arts scene and fighters were seeing benefits outside of a “high.” Once Martinez saw first hand how his recovery time reduced and his mind wasn’t constantly in a race against itself, he knew he found a form of natural therapy. “Everything slowed down,” Chavo says.
