My mother suffers from arthritis in her hands.
She uses natural remedies such as gin soaked yellow raisins.
She’s gone to the doctors for medication. Nothing has helped her find long-term relief. I recently heard about people finding relief by using medical marijuana strains to treat the stiffness and pain. I spoke to my mother about the possibility and she was skeptical at first. She told me she didn’t want to smoke anything. She wasn’t thrilled with the idea of smoking a joint, packing a pipe or vaping. I did some further research and learned that my mother can use a non-psychoactive topical. It is a medical marijuana delivery method. Topicals are a cannabis-infused ointment, balm or oil applied directly to the skin. There are topicals that include THC and ones that don’t. My mother preferred a higher CBD blend that includes essential oils that smell nice. She was looking for something similar to a powerful icy hot. The only issue was my mother was unwilling to physically enter the cannabis dispensary. She was embarrassed about buying cannabis. Even though marijuana is completely legal and she qualifies as a medical marijuana patient, she didn’t feel comfortable. I looked for a medical marijuana dispensary in the area that provides cannabis delivery. I got her set up with an account. We needed to upload her medical marijuan card, her ID and the numbers for her debit card. The cannabis was delivered right to her front door. My mother simply needed to meet the driver to prove and show her identification. Thankfully, the cannabis delivery vehicle is totally discreet.
