I remember when I was overseas serving in the military that I would fantasize about coming home.
After my first bit of deployment, I knew that I had made the wrong decision for me.
I had joined the service to fight and fight I got. But it wasn’t anything at all like the stories I was told or the movies. As a result, I’m finally dealing with my PTSD thanks to medical marijuana. It hasn’t been at all easy but it’s better than the alternative. And with medical cannabis, I’m finding some positive results. When I finally did get to come home, it wasn’t anything like what I thought it would be. I wasn’t just simply able to leave everything I had dealt with back in the middle east. It came home with me. Sleepless nights, paranoia, terrible nightmares were the beginning and it only go worse. I was in such a bad way that I simply isolated myself inside my apartment and drank. That was not the way to deal with this and I knew it. Before long, I started looking into medical marijuana benefits for people with PTSD. What I found convinced me to get through the cannabis regulations and get to some help. With the cannabis flower products, group therapy and other supports, I’m finally being able to manage the symptoms of my PTSD. Medical marijuana is helping me sort through the trauma I experienced so I can hopefully one day be able to move on. I’m just lucky that I can actually go to a legal weed store to get the medical marijuana that is helping me. I just wish all other veterans could do the same thing.
