I’ve dealt with migraine headaches since I was a small child.

My symptoms became worse once I went through puberty.

The pain would become so severe that I couldn’t get out of bed. I needed the bedroom pitch dark with no noise. I’d sometimes suffer nausea, vomit and have no appetite. Over the years, I tried all different types of home remedies, from different essential oils and herbal teas to massage therapy and acupuncture. These options provided very little relief. I went to several different doctors and experimented with a variety of pain medications. While pharmaceuticals helped to treat my symptoms, they caused others. When I researched the painkillers, I learned that they came with harmful, long-term side-effects much worse than headaches. When I was in college, several friends of mine recommended that I try cannabis. At that time, marijuana was not yet legal. I was unwilling to break the law. When my state finally lifted the ban on medicinal cannabis, I immediately applied for my card. This has provided access to the dispensaries in the area. Cannabis has helped me to reclaim my quality of life. The budtenders offered helpful recommendations. They explained the types of consumption methods, strains of cannabis and effects of cannabinoids and terpenes. After some experimentation, I prefer tinctures because they are fast-acting and discreet. I shop at the dispensary for CBD-dominant tinctures that soothe my migraines without worry over causing further health problems. I place the dose under my tongue for sublingual absorption. The tinctures are small enough to fit into a pocket. They cause no smoke, odor or ash and have an especially long shelf-life.

It would be extremely lucrative for the state

I live in a state where medical marijuana is legal but recreational weed is not. I’ve debated going through the process of getting my MMJ card. I’ve gone online and looked into the possibility multiple times. I simply google search and multiple licensed doctors names, locations and phone numbers come up. It’s very easy to book an appointment online. However, I’d need to take the day off from work, drive thirty minutes and spend several hundred dollars. I could then qualify for a card that would last for one year. It would provide access to the many dispensaries in the area. I’d be able to choose from cannabis-infused edibles, beverages, smokable flower, pre-rolls, vapes, tinctures, topicals and concentrates. I don’t suffer any major medical issues but I do deal with numerous small concerns. I get migraines and muscle cramps in my calves. I have arthritis in my fingers and psoriasis on my elbows and knees. I have been unwilling to take synthetic medicines due to the long-range side-effects. I believe that I could benefit greatly by taking cannabis for my ailments. It is a natural remedy that works by connecting with receptors of the endocannabinoid system in the body. The body actually creates natural cannabinoids very similar to those found in the cannabis plant. I keep hoping that my state will legalize recreational cannabis. It is a fast-growing industry that brings in a great deal of money. It would be extremely lucrative for the state. I worry that I will finally get my MMJ card and recreational cannabis will be allowed almost simultaneously.

My Brother called a couple weeks ago and told me my niece was not handling her chemotherapy very well.

• She had extreme nausea and was very weak because of it.

Being only 16, she was having a difficult time dealing with being bald on top of everything else that she had to go through. I bought a pretty blonde wig that was made with natural hair and went to visit. My niece didn’t want to put the wig on, but once I put it on her and combed it out for her, she was pleased with how she looked. I had only talked to Kelly for about 15 minutes when she told me she was exhausted and wanted to get some rest. I walked out into the kitchen and said hello to my brother and sister-in-law. We were drinking coffee while talking about Kelly. My brother said that unless they found something that could help with her nausea, there was no way she was going to survive the leukemia. I asked if any of his doctors had suggested medical marijuana? My sister-in-law looked appalled that I brought up the subject, but my brother looked interested. He asked how he could go about getting medical marijuana for Kelly, and I gave him the website. I told him that my husband Jack had used medical marijuana when he was going through chemo, and I was sure it could help Kelly. Even if the medical marijuana only gives her some extra comfort, it will be better than nothing, and any improvement will make everyone feel better.

After they legalize recreational marijuana in our area, there were big changes made in the marijuana dispensary.

You didn’t have to have a medical ID card, but with the medical ID card you didn’t have to pay as much taxes for the marijuana.

When you are using the medical marijuana ID card, you can only purchase different products. If you were coming into the marijuana dispensary for legal recreational marijuana, although you paid almost triple the amount of tax on the marijuana, you also had access to different marijuana products. One of those products that I really wanted to try was marijuana Gummies. The marijuana dispensary now sold marijuana gummies, sodas, and candies that were all infused with marijuana. They had specials once a week where they also sold cakes and other confections that were all laced with marijuana. Unfortunately, if you came in with your medical marijuana card, it was a no-no to purchase any of these added products. When I wanted to try the marijuana Gummies, I sent my husband into the dispensary. I had him buy marijuana Gummies, a couple of brownies they offered that day, and even some cupcakes. He also came out with two bottles of soda and a cup of coffee for me, that he said also had marijuana in. I will continue using my legal, medical marijuana, but one of the legal recreational marijuana gummies was more than enough. Not only did the gummy help me, but I only needed one where I would use two when making the gummies from my medical marijuana.

The days of thinking that I’m somehow bulletproof are over.

It’s not that I actually thought I was somehow indestructible but I sure had gotten by for a long time without a major injury.

Medical cannabis is now helping me recover now that I’ve had my first one. I’m in my early forties and have engaged in risky outdoor activities since I was in my teens. But every time I thought I was in for it, I walked away unscathed. That didn’t happen when I got hit by a car while out for a very basic, here to there bike ride. It wasn’t anything that involved any degree of difficulty or managed risk. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The lady who hit me has visited me several time while I was in the hospital. She was just bereft that her inattention nearly killed me. From my perspective, I’m lucky and now I’m focusing on rehabbing my body. That’s where I’m getting so much help from the legal weed store. Once I got through the cannabis regulations, I got right to the cannabis dispensary. The folks there have been great. From the beginning, they started me on some cannabis flower products known to aid in rehabbing injury. But they didn’t stop there as they continue to fine tune the different cannabis products to further aid in my recovery. I’m thankful to not be taking the pain meds and instead using something natural like medical marijuana to manage the pain. However, those aren’t the only medical marijuana benefits I’m receiving.
