Who ever said war is hell hit it right on the head.
There is really no other way to describe the realities of being in combat.
While I am proud to have served my country, I sure wish I could have done without seeing the brutality of war. It’s not something that I want to ever experience again. And it is far from the glamorous portrayal often shown on TV or in the motion pictures. The reality of it is hideous. Now, I am dealing with the results of that experience. However, I have an ally in my fight with PTSD. And it’s hard to know the source. Much of my relief is coming from medical cannabis. There is a bit of irony there considering how I have viewed cannabis flower products most of my life. I had the perspective that anyone using cannabis was a worthless stoner. How the tables have turned. In fact, using medical cannabis helps myself and others assume enjoy life is not worthless. Medical cannabis allows myself and others to both have relief of my PTSD symptoms while giving myself and others a perspective that I had not considered possible. Fortunately for me, there is access to a cannabis dispensary in my area. One of my nurses proposed I might find some extreme benefit to using medical cannabis. While skeptical, I went through the marijuana regulations as well as went to a legal weed store. I found people there who were both comaffectionate as well as expert. They were able to help myself and others find the cannabis products that have provided myself and others with such relief.
