For sure, this life has been a total challenge for me.
And sometimes, it’s been more of a big drag than a challenge.
Since I was a kid, I’ve dealt with some form of anxiety and depression. The only time I felt relief from that anxiety and depression was during college actually. For sure, a great deal of that was I had finally found a passion that I knew could be a great career. But it was also the first time I was introduced to recreational marijuana. When I think about it now, I was actually venturing in on medical marijuana treatment before I even realized it. Those few years in college using recreational marijuana were the best of my life. I just felt better, was more at peace and didn’t carry around this ball of fear in my stomach. That was a very welcome time to my life. But it was the cannabis that helped me through part of my life really. But I put it down do the drug tests that were required in my career back in those days. Of course, I immediately was sad to welcome back the anxiety and depression that had left me for a while. And I went to doctors who prescribed me all sorts of different medications. But they either didn’t work or the side effects outweighed the positives of the medication. So once the marijuana laws changed in our state, I decided to check out a cannabis dispensary near me. The more I learned about cannabis and how successful at it was for treating people with my condition, the more it seemed like it was the right thing for me to do. And I’m so glad I did because I feel so much better.
