I suppose that decay and death are just part of life.
Yet, the realities of that truth can be heartbreaking.
I’m experiencing that first hand. My mother is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. It’s Distressing to witness. However, she is near the end of her life and all I want to do is make the rest of it as good as possible. I found an unexpected ally in this endeavor. Medical cannabis has made a vast difference in the amount of lucidity that she is able to enjoy. Thankfully, I have a friend who has already experienced what I am going through. She helped understand that though this disease is not easy, there can be some moments of joy. And our friend explained how medical cannabis can be helpful in getting more of those moments. She encouraged me to go to some cannabis dispensary open houses in order to get some cannabis education. The more I came to discover and comprehend about medical marijuana, the more I realized my mom should try it. The fact that our mother was using cannabis was not lost on her or me. At first she refused. Definitely, she did not want to smoke any sort of cannabis flower product. I purchased her cannabis hard candies. Just the fact that they looked, tasted and felt like peppermints went a long way in making medical cannabis satisfactory to her. She looks forward to sucking on the medical cannabis candies now and I do too. There is a brightness in her expression again sometimes, and that is enough of a joyful moment for me.
