I have been dealing with an eating disorder ever since college.
This condition has gone from bulimic to self starvation.
Years of eating and puking or not eating at all nearly destroyed our health. However, I am getting help now and there is an unlikely component that is really proving beneficial. My doctor has prescribed medical cannabis. This really threw me at first. I didn’t want to go from an eating disorder to a drug disorder. But she explained how that isn’t what happens with cannabis products. In fact, she encouraged me to learn more about medical marijuana and eating disorders and how the two can coexist. I did that easily by going to a cannabis dispensary speech and trade show. There I met medical cannabis experts who explained just how cannabis products could help me reach a normal weight. And it was really pretty easy to understand. Using cannabis flower products could help me feel hungry. Before I began using medical cannabis, I had to force myself to eat and it was like a nightmare. Once I started taking the cannabis products from the cannabis dispensary, that all became different. While it was a gradual change, I eventually felt hunger, which I hadn’t felt in an easily long time. Medical cannabis is a healthy component of our overall eating disorder therapy. With the help of cannabis flower products, I am now learning how to eat. And a big section of that is acknowledging that getting hungry is a healthy thing.
