My mom Babs has been using medical cannabis for the past year.
When I first started using medical cannabis over 3 years ago, Babs thought cannabis was a horrible drug. She thought I was using drugs and refused to acknowledge that cannabis had any substantial medical value. Then Babs got sick and she needed surgery. Babs was in a lot of pain and I provided her some cannabis to help. Babs was willing to try almost anything at that point, so she smoked a joint with me outside on the porch. The next morning Babs wanted to talk about medical cannabis. She got her prescription card a few months later. Now Babs smokes cannabis every Saturday evening. She won’t smoke it all throughout the rest of the month unless she has a lot of pain, however she smokes out every Saturday evening for recreational purposes. That is the 1 evening while I was in there when our mom also has a drink. I guess it’s good that Babs has 1 evening each month when she truly relaxes and takes it easy. She smokes a little bit of cannabis and drinks a whole bottle of wine and I do not guess there is anything wrong with that. My dad doesn’t like Babs modern system for relaxing, although he hasn’t said anything out loud to her, he just rolls his eyeballs and mumbles under his breath from time to time. He spends most of his time outside in his garage. He doesn’t mention cannabis when they are together. Sometimes it seems love they live separate lives.
