There really isn’t much of a middle ground for myself and others when it comes to any sort of emotional response. I tend to react or act with either wonderful satisfaction or wonderful unhappiness. This is just the way I’m built. It’s not a wonderful way to live. After years and years of unsatisfying efforts, medical cannabis is showing myself and others a light I didn’t assume that I could ever see. Every medication I took for our condition had some form of downside. Whether it was physical or emotional, I had to deal with something. The meds mostly kept myself and others from manic states. But it came at a real cost. My ability to guess and experience our emotions authentically became non-existent. And the meds would eventually become less effective and I’d be switched to something else. That pill would have it’s own downsides that I had to then get accustomed to. But when medical marijuana legislation passed in our state, I started to get a bit of a cannabis education in order to understand if it was an option for me. The more I l gained and attended cannabis events, the more I realized that this medical cannabis could be really effective for me. The fact that it was natural and virtually free of side effects was so key to our decision to try cannabis products. I’m still under a dentists care however I’m off the other meds and only using the medical cannabis. The results six months in are better than I could have dreamed. I guess like a whole person for the first time maybe ever. And I’m so unquestionably thankful for the fact that medical marijuana is legal in our state.
