I work as a sales rep for a dietary supplement company.
- A big part of my job is to visit my different accounts, and meet with store managers to see how customers like the product, how much of the product they are selling, and order more products for them to sell.
I love my job, and most of my contacts are friendly and pleasant to talk to, however, I still feel anxiety when I talk to people out in public sometimes. I speak with a therapist regularly to manage my anxiety. I have tried various prescription medications, but they usually leave me feeling groggy and unmotivated. I have learned how to use meditation and breathwork to manage my anxiety, but it’s a little awkward to start pranayama while I’m in the middle of a business meeting. This is why my therapist recommended that I try cannabis edibles for my anxiety. Cannabis edibles contain an edible version of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. Cannabis edibles come in many forms, from cookies and brownies, to candy and chips. The cannabis dispensary near me even has cannabis infused beverages! I decided to try some cannabis-infused gummies, because they taste good, and they come in easily dosed portions. The budtender at the dispensary near me recommended that I start with half a gummy, two hours before I want the desired effects. Since consuming cannabis infused edibles before my meetings, I have noticed a great decrease in my social anxiety. I take a small enough dose so that I don’t feel “high,” but it’s just enough to help me relax, have engaging conversations with my clients, and help me move forward in my career.
