It literally came out of nowhere for me.
One day, I’m living my active, healthy lifestyle and the next I’m so sore I can hardly get out of bed.
That’s how my inflammatory condition started. It was just so puzzling as well as puzzling. The doctors diagnosed me with a variety of issues, all of which centered around my sudden inflammation. The joints in my body were stiff and painful and there just wasn’t much I could do about it. This was before I found cannabis. The meds I took were pretty high powered and caused their own problems with side effects. I lost my job and wasn’t sure how long I could exist like I was. But it all changed when I got a visit from an old college buddy. He had found out through the grapevine that I was struggling with chronic inflammation. Back in the day, he and I used to smoke a fair amount of pot together. Since then, I really didn’t use cannabis at all. So when my friend stayed the weekend, he pulled out some marijuana and offered me some. I declined. He encouraged me to at least try some weed again as he had been told that people with my condition got some relief. More to appease him and be a good host, I smoked like half a bowl of weed. It wasn’t 45 minutes later that I could move better. Plus, my perspective was different as well. I was laughing and could hardly believe the sound of my own laughter. Well from there, I did what I had to do to get access to the dispensary near me.
