When the doctor talked to me about medical marijuana, I thought it wouldn’t get me high. It was medicine, which can make you feel groggy or antsy, but I never associated medical marijuana with getting high. He told me that medical marijuana wouldn’t repair the damage to the nerves, but it would ease the discomfort it gave me. I wanted to try medical marijuana, so I went through the process of obtaining a medical marijuana ID card. The first time I went to the medical marijuana dispensary, I had to have a consultation with their resident pharmacist. He explained how medical marijuana could help with the pain of the nerve damage and give me enough comfort to lead a productive life. I would need to be careful about what I used when I was working, because too much THC could be dangerous. He told me to think of THC like using alcohol. If you went to work drunk, you were going to lose your job. If you went to work after using THC products, you could lose your job. He suggested I try products that were high in CBD. The person at the counter pulled out several marijuana products for me to try. He showed me one that would be excellent at night. It would relax me, ease the pain, and help me get some sleep. He then gave me something I could use during the day, and while at work. No one said medical marijuana could get me high, but I soon learned that lesson. I mixed up the medical marijuana products, and ended up using one product at work, and was sent home for drinking on the job.
