After the accident, our life changed drastically.
I was involved in a multi-car pileup on the highway, and compared to some of the other wreck victims I am still in fantastic shape, but very late at night, in the middle of a massive storm, a large truck jackknifed in the middle of the road, and caused a chain reaction involving twenty other vehicles, including mine. I spent several mornings recovering in the hospital, however I’ve spent years dealing with the fallout of that crash. I broke multiple vertebrae and have experienced nagging aches and pains ever since. In an attempt to avoid becoming addicted to opioids, I have been using medical cannabis to deal with our pain, with mediocre success. I understood that prescription pain pills would be far more effective, however to me it wasn’t worth the risk. Medical cannabis is safe and non-addictive, which more than makes up for everything else. Using Medical cannabis helps me relax, it helps me fall asleep, and to some degree it mitigates the pain. I even joined a local gym that promotes holistic health using yoga and medical cannabis in conjunction. That means my yoga mentor brings her own homegrown medical cannabis and starts off the yoga session by sharing a large joint. Medical cannabis relaxes the body, the spirit, and the mind, and is the perfect way to ease into the world of yoga. I have to be cautious because our back is so delicate, although I must admit the combination of yoga poses and medical cannabis makes me so much better. One morning maybe I can be 100% mobile again.
