My job requires me to travel all over the country.
I spend more time sleeping in hotel rooms than in my bed at home.
While I really enjoy experiencing new places, the workload is rather stressful. My job description includes lots of conferences, meetings, consultations and training seminars. I frequently speak in front of large groups. The data I present and recommendations I make are essential to the growth and success of the company. The anxiety of both traveling and the expectations manifest into all sorts of health issues. I suffer from frequent migraines so severe that I am sensitive to light and sounds. It’s not usual for me to throw up due to the pain in my head. Because of so much time spent sitting on airplanes, sitting at airports and sitting at work-related events, I have developed problems with painful joints. I deal with carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and back pain, arthritis in my fingers and plantar fasciitis. While I have my MMJ card that allows me to shop at the dispensary in my local area, not every state provides medical marijuana reciprocity. I am far more eager to travel to those states that recognize my MMJ card. While the states with legalized recreational weed charge me tax and won’t sell me as much quantity, it’s still a relief to be able to shop at the dispensaries. I enjoy visiting dispensaries across the country. It gives me an opportunity to try out new brands and strains. On my travels, I’ve come across cannabis-infused peanut butter, ice cream, honey and popcorn.
