When you live alone and you’re recovering from a long illness, it’s sure nice to know that the local cannabis spot has my back.
- It’s been almost a year now since I was diagnosed with an illness that has proved tough to defeat.
At least at this point, my situation has gone from life threatening to life altering so that’s a big improvement. However, I’ve still got a ways to go before I start to ease into my new normal. Life won’t be the same for me but I’ll still be involved with living so I’m not going to whine. One thing that won’t change is the fact that I live in a region where recreational marijuana is legal. After a very successful run with medical marijuana, it didn’t take long until legalizing all forms of cannabis found it’s way to the ballot. The marijuana law passed easily and I’m so thankful. I’ve enjoyed cannabis products somewhat sporadically for much of my adult life. But sativa and indica products have played a big part in my healing over the past year. The indica products help me with some of the gastrointestinal problems that are a side effect of the medications. It helps me maintain an appetite for healthy, unprocessed foods. And the sativa strains have been instrumental when it comes to staying in the moment and being positive about this experience. But the fact that the cannabis dispensary has a marijuana delivery service has been so important. I simply order online and the cannabis delivery person shows up at my doorstep. It’s been a lifeline for me this past year.
