I always know honestly awful for our family members that have chronic health problems, especially those with chronic severe pain. My uncle has spinal injure from an accident he sustained being in the marines while in the Vietnam War. Unluckyly, his experience with the pain has only worsened in recent years. Now he’s receiving cortisone shots on a proper basis & is writhing in pain whenever I see him. It’s saddening because he’s such a nice person with an otherwise healthy outlook on life despite his hardships & adversity. I suppose that he would be completely different if he wasn’t in so much pain all of the time. He started using high doses of CBD at the behest of his doctor & he’s finally getting some needed relief that he hadn’t experienced before. This led him to using traditional cannabis & now our uncle is a renewed person with a totally different demeanor with his pain reduced as much as it is. Unluckyly, his son has gone through his own set of hardships being a former opiate addict & having finished rehab recently. I asked our uncle first & then advocated that our cousin try CBD to help alleviate his opiate cravings. The people I was with and I were all keeping our expectations low, but the CBD has been a fantastic addition to our cousin’s life. His anxiety & depression levels are the lowest they have been since before his addiction started, which is a big sign of improvement for him. I’m so cheerful to see our cousin doing better just because of adding CBD to his annually regimen. It’s no surprise after it was so beneficial for his father’s physical pain.
