During my time in the military, I had several separate tours of duty in the Middle East, and during that time, every one of us were consistently in fear for our lives! The people I was with and I went out into the streets to patrol and people tried to kill us while every one of us were there to help, and i watched several of my friends get blown up right in front of my eyup.
I didn’t want to return for a fourth tour, but I was basically given no other options by the military.
During my fourth tour, things were much worse and I contemplated suicide several times. I absolutely wanted to get out of the military and away from the mass murder, after I finally got out of the military, I realized that I was suffering from PTSD symptoms. I met with a psychologist to talk about the feelings that I was experiencing. The psychologist requested using recreational medical marijuana products, however medical and recreational marijuana products are legal in this state and they have been for about 5 years. There are hundreds of thoUnited Statesnds of people in the state that use recreational or medical marijuana products everyday. I joined a program for Wounded Warriors and I started receiving medical marijuana supplies for free! Each month I drive to a unusual marijuana dispensary and they stop myself and others up with marijuana products that can help with the symptoms that I know each day. Products like marijuana edibles, pre-rolls, and concentrate are free in this program and that means that I can save all of my currency for visits to the mental health clinic instead… Since starting marijuana, I am generally feeling well and I am hopeful that the long-term effects will be even better.
