I was always hardcore against pot and legalizing it.
- Which is why when my state allowed the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana, I was very vocal about what a horrible thing that was.
I was one of those people saying that pot is a gateway drug and that our country is going downhill. It wasn’t until I turned to cannabis that I realized I was wrong. I heard all about how cannabis can help people with chronic pain, depression, anxiety and more. I refused to believe it. Well last Christmas I was on the roof setting up the lights. I slipped and fell right onto the cold cement, and my back, legs and shoulders were entirely messed up in the process. The doctor prescribed all sorts of pain medicine that is said to be entirely addictive. I did not want to take it. After not getting any relief from a chiropractor or massage therapist, I finally broke down and went to a recreational dispensary. I wanted a product that would reduce my chronic pain. I was shocked at how the dispensary was laid out. It was so clean, classy and professional looking. The budtender was amazing with showing me odd strains like OG Kush, Purple Haze and Blue Dream. He showed me that I could smoke or just get a CBD infused product. I didn’t even have to get high in order to get the pain relief. I ended up choosing a mouth spray with CBD in it. I believe better than ever and it is all thanks to cannabis.
