I was genuinely hesitant to try medical marijuana… One reason was due to the stigma of using drugs. I grew up in a time when marijuana was considered a drug. My parents grew up in a time when marijuana was used for fun as well as free hippie sentimental. I came from a time stage where all I can remember is the first lady telling us to say no to drugs. I never used marijuana in high school as well as I didn’t smoke pot in university either. I taught in an elementary school for multiple years as well as after that I got hurt. I was rock climbing with some friends as well as one of the ropes snapped. It was a freak accident, although I happen to be the person that was on the rope at the time. I fell 40 ft as well as landed on a shrub. The shrub is the only reason why I am still alive. It broke our fall so I didn’t land completely on our back. I had to relearn how to walk as well as I could not even write our own name. The dentist prescribed medical marijuana for the pain that I was feeling after the accident. I have been using marijuana products for the past 10 years. I actually think care about they help with pain relief, however they also help our mental health. I don’t think about the accident as much when I am stoned, however last year I ordered delivery products from a up-to-date marijuana dispensary. The dispensary carries medical as well as recreational marijuana products. The delivery driver was a familiar face. It turned out to be one of our outdated students from forever ago.
