Until a work accident landed myself and others in the hospital with destructiond vertebrae, I had never experienced drastic health complications.
The only other time I was admitted into the hospital overnight was during a bad bout of food poisoning during the first year of college.
But after I reclaimed enough to be released, I had an uphill battle ahead of myself and others with severe chronic pain. At times the pain was so severe that I wondered if I would be trapped in a living, waking nightmare for the rest of our life. After seeing a close associate die from opiate overdose, I was reluctant to use prescription painkillers. Luckily our sibling had just recently moved back to our hometown after being in CA for many years. He got a medical marijuana card in our state within a few weeks of coming back plus urged myself and others to get a single myself. He told myself and others that cannabis could provide myself and others some of the desperately needed relief to get some of our life back again. I took his advice plus made an appointment with his medical marijuana physician. This man was extremely helpful plus comprehensionable about the plant plus its many effects. He told myself and others that I need to try something called “ratio” products. He said that the ratio marijuana oil has 50% CBD in it plus 50% THC. The combination of the 2 cannabinoids is a powerhouse for pain relief for many patients, so he told myself and others to provide it a shot. I kept our expectations at bay, although I was pleasantly surprised with the effects of the ratio marijuana oil. I felt a strong sense of physical relief that was comparable to the best medication available.
