My parents have changed a lot over the years.
They used to be really conservative and did not have a lot of compassion for people who aren’t like them.
But they went through a period of change over the last 15 years. Now they see the world through different eyes. In particular, they have a lot of empathy for people who are well off financially. My uncle ended up losing his job when he got injured a few years ago and the whole situation came close to destroying his life. My parents were really frustrated that he was denied the medical coverage that he was entitled to the first few times he tried. It made them realize that there are systems in place in this country that are inherently unfair to large groups of people. One of their other positions for years was being against marijuana in all forms. They were completely against the plan anybody used it, even if for medical purposes. But when my uncles started using cannabis to treat some of the pain from his accident, they could see for themselves how beneficial marijuana was to people in physical pain. Now my parents are medical marijuana patients themselves. My dad uses medical marijuana for his migraines and my mom uses it for arthritis. I’m proud of my parents for changing their minds on cannabis use. I’m a cannabis user myself and it’s nice knowing that I can talk to my parents about it without being judged harshly. However, they prefer to use cannabis tinctures in skin cream rather than inhalation products.
