Ever since I was a teenager, I have endured terrible pain in my hands and my wrists.
My mom told me it was growing pains, but after several visits to the doctor I found out that I was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects the joints in the hand and feet mostly. This inflammatory disorder causes the body’s immune system to attack itself. Rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured, but it can be effectively treated with a number of medical treatments. The swelling and inflammation in my hands was getting so bad that I was having trouble working, so the doctor gave me a prescription to try medical cannabis. Medical cannabis has been legal in the state for several years, and I know a couple of people that use cannabis daily. I wasn’t sure it would actually help with the pain and swelling in my joints, but I knew that I had to give it a try. The first couple of times that I used medical cannabis, I had a lot of hallucinogenic effects. I felt very high, and I completely forgot about all the pain in my hands. Even after using medical cannabis for several months, I still have a small amount of psychoactive effects that occur when I use the plant for medical reasons. I’ve found that edible cannabis treats are the best and most effective way to treat the pain. They do not have as many psychoactive effects and the pain relief lasts for hours. It is the best thing I have found to help with the pain that I feel every single day of my life.
