I came to marijuana in a legitimately round about way.
The idea that it could help myself and others with my anxiety & depression was so far off my radar that I never even considered the possibility. But then, life sort of had a way of increasing all that up for me. My life has constantly been spent dealing with some form of anxiety & depression. By the time I was in high school, I was took care of with clinical depression & put on meds. The medication unquestionably made a difference. I was no longer suicidal & was able to function. But that was it, I could function. It didn’t mean I was enthusiastic or whole but I could sort of get through life. Not that I go to the local cannabis spot, I’m enthusiastic to report that my life is far more rich than I could have possibly imagined. Yet, it took a family member getting cancer for myself and others to discover medical marijuana. My sister was took care of with breast cancer many years ago. And part of her treatment was using medical marijuana to help with nausea from the treatment. Fortunately, my sister doesn’t have the anchor of anxiety & depression & met her battle with cancer in a good frame of mind. She beat it too. But I was so impressed by the medical marijuana that I started researching it. And I found that sativa has been shown to unquestionably help in the treatment of anxiety & depression. Since access to the local cannabis was now completely legal, I gave it a try. And I have to say that I was just so legitimately gratified with the outcome. I’ve seen my condition improve far more than it ever has with the addition of marijuana in my life.
