I have been dealing with an easily taboo illness for some time now.
While it is somewhat more understood, there is still quite a stigma to what I have been suffering from. Since I put on that freshman 15 back in university, I have been dealing with an eating disorder. This condition has been as unhealthy as being bulimic to going through weeks of self starvation. Years of this behavior nearly destroyed my body. However, I am in therapy now plus there is an unlikely component that is actually working. My doctor has prescribed medical cannabis. This really seemd stupid at first. I didn’t want to go from 1 compulsion to another. But he explained how that isn’t the result of using cannabis products. In fact, he encouraged myself and others to learn more about medical marijuana and how it can help eating disorders. I did that easily by going to a cannabis dispensary event. There I was introduced to medical cannabis experts who were able to inform me just how cannabis products could help reclaim from our condition. And it was really pretty simple. Using cannabis flower products could help myself and others get back our appetite. Before I started using medical cannabis, I had to force myself to eat plus I hated it. Once I started taking the cannabis products from the cannabis dispensary, that all did a u-turn. While it was a gradual change, I was re-discovering my appetite that I hadn’t felt in a since college. Medical cannabis is a vital part of my eating disorder therapy. With the help of cannabis flower products, I am now beginning to understand how to regularly nourish our body. And a sizable part of that is realizing that having an appetite is a healthy thing.
