Full disclosure right up front. I smoked a ton of weed when I was in college. And I enjoyed every, single minute of it. But once that period of my life was done, there was no more cannabis products in my life until a couple of decades later. Back when I started my career, it came with drug tests. I had worked too hard and invested a bunch of money in my education in order to get that good job. So using cannabis products were so not worth the risk and I just flat put them down. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been an advocate for cannabis products. I was active and involved when medical marijuana was on the ballot. It was so satisfying when it finally passed. There were so many people out there suffering that needed medical marijuana benefits. Turns out that just a few years later, I would be one of those sufferers who needed help from medical marijuana. When I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition, I wasn’t going the opioid route. Being a junkie in pain was not my idea of living. So I figured out how to get my medical marijuana card and then got myself down to the legal weed store. They set me up with the strains of cannabis flower products that had been proven so beneficial for others in my shoes. And right away, I had cannabis flower products back in my life. Not only am I able to manage the chronic pain in a way that gave me my life back, I’m so much more positive and hopeful thanks to the medical cannabis.
