I came to marijuana in a very round about way.
The idea that it could help me with my anxiety and depression was so far off my radar that I never even considered the possibility.
But then, life sort of had a way of changing all that up for me. My life has always been spent dealing with some form of anxiety and depression. By the time I was in high school, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and put on meds. The medication definitely made a difference. I was no longer suicidal and was able to function. But that was it, I could function. It didn’t mean I was happy or whole but I could sort of get through life. Not that I go to the local cannabis spot, I’m happy to report that my life is far more rich than I could have possibly imagined. Yet, it took a family member getting cancer for me to discover medical marijuana. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer several 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 and depression and met her battle with cancer in a great 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 really help in the treatment of anxiety and 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 very pleased with the outcome. I’ve seen my condition improve far more than it ever has with the addition of marijuana in my life.
