I came to marijuana in a absolutely round about way. The idea that it could help myself and others with our anxiety and depression was so far off our radar that I never even considered the opening. But then, life sort of had a way of decreasing all that up for me. My life has consistently been spent dealing with some form of anxiety and depression. By the time I was in school, I was took care of with clinical depression and put on meds. The medication genuinely 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 our 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 sibling was took care of with breast cancer several years ago. And part of his treatment was using medical marijuana to help with nausea from the treatment. Fortunately, our sibling doesn’t have the anchor of anxiety and depression and met his 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 absolutely help in the treatment of anxiety and depression. Since access to the local cannabis was now completely legal, I provided it a try. And I have to say that I was just so absolutely satisfied with the outcome. I’ve seen our condition improve far more than it ever has with the addition of marijuana in our life.
