Until a work accident landed me in the hospital with disfigured vertebrae, I had never experienced drastic health troubles.
The only other time I was admitted into the hospital overnight was while every one of us were in a awful bout of food poisoning while every one of us were in the first year of university.
But after I reclaimed enough to be released, I had an uphill battle ahead of me with drastic chronic pain. At times the pain was so drastic that I wondered if I would be trapped in a living, waking nightmare for the rest of my life. After seeing a close friend die from opiate overdose, I was reluctant to use prescription painkillers. Luckily my sibling had just recently moved back to our hometown after being in CA for numerous years. He got a medical marijuana card in our state within a few weeks of coming back & urged me to get 1 myself. He told me that cannabis could give me some of the desperately needed relief to get some of my life back again. I took his advice & made an appointment with his medical marijuana physician. This man was extremely helpful & comprehensionable about the plant & its numerous effects. He told me that I need to try something called “ratio” products. He said that the ratio marijuana oil has 50% CBD in it & 50% THC. The combination of the numerous cannabinoids is a powerhouse for pain relief for numerous patients, so he told me to give it a shot. I kept my 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.
