I was a cop for over 10 years.
I can’t tell you how many people I put away for marijuana..
Looking back, I really regret this. I quit the force 15 years ago and I’ve never looked back. I have a little bit of PTSD from my time as a police officer and I have the aches and pains that come with getting older. However, I was reluctant when a friend of mine recommended using legal cannabis for my issues. It’s just been so ingrained in me that marijuana is bad and a gateway drug. It’s hard to untrain your mind from 10 years of police work. But then again, that’s my problem. That’s why I have the PTSD. After talking it over with several good friends, I finally decided I was going to try legal marijuana. I went to a recreational cannabis store and they were very helpful in helping me find some legal marijuana to help me with my PTSD as well as my aches and pains. I like that they had oils and edibles for me to try as well. The thought of smoking a blunt or a bong does not appeal to me at all. It just has too many drug connotations. Anyhow, I’ve been using legal recreational cannabis store for a few months now and I have to say that it’s really helping me a lot. That’s why I regret the way I treated people who used to use marijuana before it became legal. There really is no harm in the stuff. I see that now.
