Don’t give up with cannabis if your first products sampled don’t work

Trying antidepressants when I was 20 was an uphill battle from the start.

  • After struggling to find a psychiatrist who would take my parent’s medical insurance, then I had to find one that was empathetic to my unique plight.

Once that was finally accomplished, we had to go through a list of various drugs and decide which ones to try first. If you have a family history of psycho pharmaceutical dosing, doctors will often stick with that drug or other similar to those which your family members have tried with success if there aren’t any reasons to pick one drug over another. Unfortunately, giving me the same antidepressant as my sister yields negative side effects. It just didn’t give me the same relief that it gave my sister, so we had to try something else. I went through five or so medications before finding and settling with the eventual one that I am on right now. But if I had stuck with the regimen, I would have quit antidepressants altogether without finding the one that I like the most that I”m on right now. Remember to always remember this effect when consuming drugs. Cannabis is similar in this regard, as you might not have amazing effects with all cannabis products but it can be daunting if you don’t at first. This happened to me before I was able to try some top shelf quality cannabis from out west. It was on another level compared to the marijuana sold in stores in my home state. We definitely get good cannabis in these parts of the country, even if much of it is important from out in California or Colorado.
