It’s really sort of strange to be taking care of my mom the way she must have taken care of me when I first got to planet earth.
I couldn’t understand how to take care of myself so she did it for me.
Due to dementia, my mom is now in that same boat a lot of the time. Thanks to medical marijuana being available in our state, she is at least more comfortable when the confusion sets in. She is now with us as she enters the final stages of her life. For sure, she’s had a great run but it’s so tough to witness the awful effects of dementia. I hate it for her and the fear in her eyes was something that has been so hard for me to deal with. After learning more about the medical marijuana benefits for someone in my mom’s situation, I decided that it might be worth a try. With her doctor’s blessing, I started the process of working through the medical marijuana regulations so I could get some cannabis products. I knew that smoking cannabis flower products was out of the question. That’s just not something my mom could do. She hated smoking her whole life so I’m so glad that I was able to get medical cannabis edibles. They come in the form of cannabis gummies. About half of one of those cannabis gummies is about all she needs to help her feel safe and comfortable. Within 20 minutes, the fear is gone from her eyes as there seems to be some sort of subconscious acceptance or something. All I care about is that my mom feels a bit more comfortable as she comes to the end of her life. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that we have access to a legal weed store for her comfort.
