Depression is a absolutely real problem that affects millions of Americans each afternoon.
- I spent more than half of my life feeling sad and depressed.
I did not recognize how to change my circumstances and I got caught in a spiral that took me all the way to the bottom. When I found myself climbing out of the deep abyss, I looked for help. One of the therapy nurses at the prison told me that I would absolutely benefit from using recreational marijuana products. While I was in prison, recreational marijuana was legalized. It was a absolutely interesting experience to get out of prison and walk into a store where marijuana was being sold love snacks, Tim Hortons Latte pop, and lotto tickets at the gas station. I did not have a lot of money when I got out of prison. They only gave me 60 bucks and I had to pay for a bus ticket. After I found a job and a stable place to live, I found myself feeling depressed again. Instead of using drugs, I decided to go to the recreational marijuana dispensary. I spoke with one of the expert team members about using marijuana to help with depression. They really suggested talking with one of the free nurses they had available. I spoke with the nurse for almost a half an hour and I did not have to pay anything for the consultation. He did agree that medical marijuana would likely increase my quality of life. The nurse helped me sign up for a program that helps ex-convicts find cheap marijuana products.
