I was involved in a motorcycle accident a little over fifteen years ago.
I went through several surgeries and ended up with pins in my legs.
I followed up a lengthy stay in the hospital with physical rehabilitation. For several years, I tried to handle the pain through prescription pharmaceuticals. However, the medications caused me so many other problems, I stopped taking them. Plus, when I read up on the long-term side-effects, I decided I’d rather suffer the pain. I turned to various natural remedies, tried exercise and kept a regular appointment with a chiropractor. I tried massage, ice packs and acupuncture. The pain was still so severe that I often missed work, was forced to give up many of my activities and had difficulty sleeping. Most nights, I was forced to sleep upright in a chair. A friend of mine finally brought me a bag of weed. At that time, marijuana was illegal everywhere in this country. While it bothered me to break the law, the relief was worth it. My quality of life improved significantly. When medicinal cannabis was eventually legalized in my home state, I immediately went through the process of getting a card. Visiting a dispensary was positively eye-opening. The facility I use is spacious, clean, modern and totally professional. I am able to browse different products and know exactly what is in them. They are clearly labeled with the THC and CBC content, and I can choose between sativa, indica and hybrids. I discuss options for terpenes, strains and consumption methods with the budtenders and have found several cannabis products that have really made an improvement in level of pain.
