Thank goodness recreational weed is legal.
I recently turned 57 years old. While I am conscientious about eating right and remaining in nice physical condition, I’ve noticed an assortment of little health complaints. I don’t have any concerns that force me to see a doctor or risk the side-effects of prescription medication. I don’t need surgery or to give up my favorite activities. However, I have a lot of little concerns with aches, pains and aggravations. I suffer from mild arthritis in my fingers, plantar fasciitis in my feet and psoriasis on my elbows and knees. I have recently developed runner’s heel in my left foot and frequently experience leg cramps during the night. Since entering menopause I deal with migraines, warm flashes, insomnia and concerns with dehydration. While I’ve consistently had a touch of social anxiety, it’s easily gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I also take longer to heal from injury. About two years ago, I tore my trapezius muscle and spent three months prone on the couch. I couldn’t go up and down the stairs or even wash my own hair. Every now and then, I still get a twinge of pain in my pack. About six months ago, I stepped on a hand weight during my workout, fell down and rolled my ankle. It swelled up and turned orange. The pain remains a hindrance when I try to run or jump rope. The best solution for all my concerns and complaints is a trip to the cannabis dispensary. Thank goodness recreational weed is legal. I don’t need a doctor’s recommendation. I can simply make the ten minute drive to the dispensary, browse the shelves and ask for recommendations from the budtenders. There are lots of cannabis-infused products that are designed to treat pain, inflammation, anxiety and a wide range of medical conditions.
