When I entered high school I started experiencing troubles with headaches.
- Usually it was from lack of sleep, dehydration and stress.
As I have gotten older my headaches have changed into full blown migraines. I have learned to know the signs of a migraine and I preemptively medicate when I can. Sometimes that doesn’t even help though. I will be down on the couch for hours. I am sensitive to light, sounds and will occasionally vomit due to the pain. I used to get pills from my local doctor to help with my severe cases. However I started worrying about long term health complications. That is when I turned to cannabis. This is a more natural remedy and easier to obtain. Rather than going to a doctor’s office all the time, I just go once a year to renew my medical marijuana card. I just needed to be 21 years of age, fill out the papers and pay the fee. It has been worth all the work. The budtender at the medical weed shop recomenedd that I rely on CBD products. I vape CBD oil for my headaches now. I smoke just about everyday to reduce my stress levels. I also am better about hydrating. I even found that the CBD product is helpful for my sleep too. I get less headaches coming on. When they do appear, the effects of the CBD product makes the headaches not as potent. It was such a smart move changing over to cannabis. I don’t deal with side effects anymore.
