I never really understood what it was about life that everyone was so happy about.
That’s a true statement and one that reflected the amount of pain I was in most of my life.
I have dealt with depression and anxiety since I was a small child. Initially, my parents thought I would grow out of it. But by the time I was a teen, I was in therapy. This was long before medical marijuana was something one could access. Instead, I was prescribed an array of prescription medicine meant to help with my depressive state. I have to say that at first, it was helpful. However, the efficacy of those antidepressants just eroded over the years. Then, they didn’t work at all. The ensuing years were dark. I don’t know how else to describe it. However, I found a therapist who helped me to get a medical marijuana card. This was something that I didn’t have much faith in because nothing else had really worked either. However, I went to the legal weed store and got my first cannabis products. The people there were able to show just how to use the medical cannabis. I tried it the next day. That has turned out to be the literal first day of the rest of my life. The very first time I used medical cannabis, I could tell a difference in my life. It was that quick. There was a sudden unveiling of life that came to me. It was through medical cannabis that I was able to actually understand that life was indeed worth living.
