I was in a car accident in 1997, just 6 months after I got my driver’s license. I thought that I was invincible. I was driving like a maniac. I wasn’t being careful at all and I honestly deserve exactly what happened. My parents always told me not to drive crazily on the back roads and that was the first thing that I did as soon as I got my license. I wanted my friends to think I was cool. Nobody thought I was cool when I was paralyzed in a full body cast trying to figure out what to do. I spent 6 months without the ability to walk and the doctors didn’t know if I would be paralyzed for life. Thankfully the swelling in my brain dissipated and eventually I regained mobility in my legs. I still had to worry about gaining muscle control and that took a long time. I was in a ton of pain back then when I was trying to relearn how to walk. I used medical marijuana products to help me get through. When I first started out, I began with an edible marijuana candy. The edible marijuana candy seemed like the best way to start off. The edible marijuana candy was a low dose edible. The marijuana dispensary had 5 mg and 10 mg tablets. I started off with the 5 mg tablets and eventually I worked my way all the way to the 25 mg dosages. 25 mg of edible marijuana helped me for a long time. I felt great pain relief until I had another car accident. Now I have to use a lot more marijuana products in order to feel the same relief that I did before.
