I’m sure that anyone reading this has had life altering moments that they can remember every detail of.
- That’s sort of what happened when I was diagnosed with cancer.
For some reason, it didn’t exactly surprise me when I heard the doctor say the word cancer. I guess I’m glad because I was by myself and might have missed out on important information had I just gone dark. It’s a good thing I was present and calm because I heard the doctor recommend that I get my medical marijuana card. The battle against cancer was going to be tough. And it would be an extended battle taking months of pain and discomfort from the treatment. However, medical cannabis has been integral to me being able to manage this fight. Not only does cannabis help with the nausea, pot actually gives me an appetite during these treatment. This is so important because I need to be eating healthy in order to heal as well. But the medical marijuana and those at the weed store who help me are also pivotal for another reason. With cannabis, I also get a sense of hope and renewed gratitude for life in general. That is such an important element when you’re fighting something like cancer. Plus, the compassion, kindness and expertise of the staff at the weed store have been instrumental. They help me find the courage and positivity it takes to keep going. And that is no small addition. Without weed and the weed store, I just can’t imagine how rough this fight would be. Thankfully, I don’t have to imagine that.
