Finding an appetite with help from the cannabis dispensary

When you have an eating disorder, you have a life disorder.

  • And don’t let anyone ever tell you any different.

I don’t know if I will ever get back to normal. But then again, I have no idea what my normal will look like. Yet, with the help of marijuana and the good people at the local cannabis shop, I’m learning. First, I’m not tackling my condition alone or with help solely from a marijuana business. I’m in therapy and also regularly seen and tested my a medical professional. In fact, it was the medical professional who suggested that I look into using cannabis to help in my recovery. And this was such an important shift in my learning a new normal. Using both sativa and indica or even hybrid strains, I have the recognition of a healthy appetite. That may seem weird but I’ve spent a long time denying my body so sensations are all screwed up. But with marijuana, my appetite is both real and strong. With help from my therapist, I’m learning to acknowledge that as a good thing and feed my body properly. It hasn’t been easy. When you go so long with just completely messed up associations with food, body image and appetite, it takes time to adjust. But I’m doing it and the folks at the cannabis dispensary help me. And not just by supplying me with cannabis products. I’ve been very up front with the staff and they are all really pulling for me as well. It’s a great feeling and a wonderful, if unexpected source of support, kindness and compassion.
