When medical marijuana was first being pushed for legality in our state, I was against it.
But, I was kind of a cynical person at that time as well.
My take was that stoners were trying to deceive all of us with the medical marijuana designation. I figured it was the only way they could acquire any sort of legal availability to cannabis products. Some years later, I am talking out the other side of our mouth. How things become different when your perspective is forced to change. My understanding of medical marijuana changed 175 degrees due to inflammation. My condition came on over the years, however once it set in, I was confounded by what had happened to me. Before inflammation, I was a vital and active person. However, once the inflammation came about, I was powerless to do anything about it. The doctors offered me prescriptions bottles full of pills, but they did little more than blunt the situation. I went this route for multiple years and really never saw much improvement. Whatever drug I was on would stop working once I had been on it a while. Finally, I just had to change. With the help of a doctor, I began to stop taking the meds and began to treat the condition more holistically. Part of that approach has been medical cannabis. The results were both legitimate and immediate. In conjunction with eating less meat, exercising more, and destressing our life, medical cannabis has almost eliminated inflammation from my body. It has been an amazing transformation and I am sure it would not have been possible without cannabis products.
