Cannabis helps me rest

As much as I enjoy getting high, for me it’s all about medicine.

I have long-standing issues with sleep.

It is hard for me to fall asleep, and even harder for me to stay asleep longer than an hour or two. I have been like this my whole life, and the trouble sleeping has caused many other issues in my life. It was always hard to do well in school because I was so tired, and the same problem came up again during my career. Although I resisted the urge to do drugs for many years, finally I decided to try medical cannabis at the behest of my doctor. I started with an indica blend, which the man at the medical cannabis dispensary said would be most beneficial for full-body relaxation. The goal of medical cannabis was not to knock myself out, like with all those sleeping pills. The goal was instead to allow my body and mind to relax enough that natural sleep would occur. Medical cannabis is not a drug, it is a natural enhancement for the body’s processes. This is why cannabis is considered medical in the first place, not because it gets you stoned but because of the benefits to your brain. My doctor was 100% right, and after my third night of using medical cannabis I slept for six hours straight. That was the most I had slept in months, and it convinced me that medical cannabis was the right path for me to take. I use it medically, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy getting stoned!
