It took way too long for recreational weed to finally be legalized in my state.
I was unwilling to take time out of my day to go to a doctor and pay several hundred dollars to qualify for a medical marijuana card.
The card is only valid for one year and then the process needs to be entirely repeated. I waited until legislation for adult use cannabis consumption was ultimately passed. It aggravates me that I need permission to shop for plant-based medicine. In my opinion, cannabis is far less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. It has actually been used as a medicinal remedy for thousands of years. No one has ever overdosed from smoking pot. Plus, not all cannabis products provide psychoactive effects. I shop mainly for cannabis-infused topicals that are high in CBD. The cannabinoids in lotions, balms and ointments affect the receptors found in the skin and provide relief from pain and inflammation. I’ve found that cannabis topicals are excellent for treating sunburn, bee stings, acne and psoriasis. They help to heal scratches, bruises and even broken bones. Just recently I discovered the amazing rewards of cannabis-infused bath bombs. The bath bombs combine cannabinoids with epsom salts, essential oils and coconut oil for intensive healing benefits. The hot water works to open the pores and allow absorption of the medicine much quicker and more effectively. The bath bombs smell amazing and are great for relaxing as well as soothing aching muscles. Because of state regulations, I can only purchase a cannabis bath bomb after showing my valid identification. I need to be over twenty-one years of age and am only permitted a limited amount per day.
