For a long time I said no to weed because I had a bad image in my brain.
I sat through school assemblies that talked about the dangers of marijuana.
It was a gateway drug. Only losers without jobs smoked weed. Marijuana was as bad as any other drug circulating the market. You were going to get addicted and die from it. Well over time that negative stigma has changed. More people are using cannabis for medical purposes. All the wonders of weed are being known. I still resisted going to a cannabis dispensary until I needed access to medical weed. I started experiencing issues with depression. I didn’t want to take any pills that have terrible side effects. I didn’t want to constantly do doctor’s visits. I found that medical weed would work for my depression and be easier to obtain. I have to do a yearly doctor’s visit and pay a fee. That is all it takes to keep a medical cannabis card. I live right near a medical marijuana dispensary too. I can easily pop in and get whatever I want. I have a cannabis oil prescription. So I vape anytime I am feeling really low. Seeing a legal weed shop for the first time was quite a whirlwind. It was so much more professional than what I was picturing. It was clean, modern and the least seedy store I’ve ever been in. It is obvious that cannabis is no longer an alley drug and instead a market with a lot of money in it.
