Getting my heal on a bit more thanks to medical marijuana

The body is a magical and yet mystifying organism.

In the right circumstances, our bodies can heal themselves from nearly anything. But at some point, this old body needed more help with setting up the right circumstances for healing. Medical marijuana and the good folks at the legal weed store are helping me with just that. I’ve had surgery before and it wasn’t the worst thing in the world but I was definitely on the long end of healing. So when I went into this recent surgery not expecting much different. This was a pretty average, yet still invasive procedure to repair an old injury that was causing a fair amount of pain and wasn’t going to get better. It did not go well. The procedure itself went as planned from a surgical perspective but my body reacted badly to the surger. I wasn’t healing right. So I turned to a more holistic approach to my healing. Along with the medical marijuana benefits, I changed my diet, focused on rest and mediation. Also, I allowed myself to rest when I was tired. The medical cannabis for the cannabis dispensary helped me be real about the fact that I’m older, just had surgery and I needed to rest for my body to heal. I was new to legal weed shops so I’m really thankful the folks at the local cannabis store helped me get the right cannabis flower products to help me. The rate of healing has accelerated significantly in just weeks once I started feeding and resting my body properly. But the cannabis flower products have made a huge difference with managing pain, getting my rest and helping with my hopeful, positive outlook.

Medical cannabis is helping me transform from PTSD

I guess the first thing I had to accept, once it was quite clear that I was suffering from PTSD, was that I wasn’t going to be what I thought of as normal. That was over. But with the benefit of medical cannabis, I’m finding a way toward being transformed from where I’ve been lately. Spending several tours in fierce combat simply changed me. It changed me minute to minute perspective in general. That’s a wholesale change and tough enough to work through. But the fact that I’m now dealing with so much fear, pain and anxiety was more than I could handle on my own. That much was clear. Prior to reaching out for help and getting the benefits from medical marijuana, I could hardly come out of my house. All I could feel comfortable seeking was absolute safety and numbness. That’s where I was and my PTSD was the reason. But my sister helped me find a therapist who uses a more holistic approach to my condition. Part of that approach meant I had to get access to a cannabis dispensary. The cannabis flower products that help me so much are available in legal weed stores now. That’s a great thing. The medical cannabis really helps me both face my fears and the illusion of them, while also imbuing me with a more positive outlook. Plus, it really helped me get over being in group therapy. The medical marijuana helped me to really hear people. And that helped me feel a whole lot less alone.

Cannabis beverages are becoming more popular

I have never really liked drinking.

My friends don’t really understand why I don’t want to have a drink or two in a social setting.

The truth is, everytime I have a few drinks and start to feel the effects, I begin to experience social anxiety. I start to question what everyone in the room thinks of me and I am no longer having a good time. Even long after the social interaction, I am left to dissect details of the conversation and wonder if I made a fool of myself. I have always relied on medical cannabis products to help me cope with my anxiety. However, there is a stigma around smoking in front of friends that don’t smoke. Finally, I’ve found a solution to this problem. When I went to my medical marijuana dispensary, I saw that they had got a whole new inventory of edible cannabis drinks. The drinks are controlled doses and are designed for different settings. You can actually purchase cannabis drinks that are designed for social settings, while there are also cannabis drinks that are designed for relaxation. When I hung out with some friends, I had one of my cannabis drinks in place of an alcoholic beverage. I really liked the way it made me feel. I had no social anxiety and actually was able to really have a good time.

Medical marijuana benefits for cancer patients

When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, it was devastating for my family and I.

  • We all felt confident that my mom was going to be the exception and she would be able to beat cancer.

However, as time went on, we started to see how much fighting cancer was hurting her. She was constantly experiencing side effects to her treatment, such as nausea. It was so hard to watch her suffer with this pain. It seemed like there was nothing we could do, but we were wrong. Eventually, we had the idea of getting my mom some medical marijuana. We were willing to try anything to help her deal with her side effects. Research suggests that medical marijuana can decrease nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. When my mom got on medical marijuana, she actually needed less medication. She was relying on so much pain management medication. Once she began taking medical marijuana, she received some level of pain management from the cannabis and was able to lower her intake of harder pain medications. Medical marijuana is also known to help treat neuropathic pain, which helps many cancer patients. I didn’t have much of an opinion regarding medical marijuana prior to this experience, but after seeing how much it helped my mom, I am now an advocate.

Life balance comes with holistic approach and legal weed

I’m going to be quite frank about recreational marijuana.

It’s been a life changer for me.

And that’s just so ironic as I spent a lot of my life railing against recreational weed and even medical marijuana. This came from being raised with all sorts of myth and misinformation when it came to cannabis. I thought it was evil and made sure to let everyone else know what I thought. But as I’ve learned as I’m going through the process of rebuilding my life, this reality comes with a whole lot of irony. These days, legal weed and the cannabis store I get it from are keys to a foundation for being my best self. That’s where I am in life and it took riding my old life into the ground before I finally realized that I’m allowed to be happy. It’s weird no longer being married or having to raise kids. The kids turned out find but the marriage was never a partnership. I’m starting over now and part of my new approach comes with holistic intentions. Using legal weed helps me stay really honest with myself and trust my feelings. That’s still new to me, trusting my feelings. But I’m learning that the real truth is often right inside those feelings that I’m finally giving credence to. While I have worked hard to finally live the life I want to live, it’s sure been made easier with access to legal pot from the cannabis store near me. And, all the people at the cannabis store are just so kind and supportive as well.
