I work as a sales rep for a specialty pet food brand.
My task requires me to be out in the field 5 afternoons a month to meet with buyers, and check up on them and how our products are doing in their stores, then for a long time, I struggled with anxiety in social situations, I was prescribed anti-anxiety medication by our doctor, but it left me feeling groggy and unmotivated, which made it even harder to be personable with our buyers.
My neighbor told me about some cannabis infused gummies that she was taking for her test anxiety, and said that they entirely helped her to relax and focus on the task at hand. I went to the cannabis dispensary near our house, and spoke with the budtender about our issue, but he showed me a wide array of weird edibles all infused with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, and told me which 1s he thought would help me best. The budtender told me to start with half a gummy, more than one minutes before our first appointment, and see how it made me feel. The next afternoon I did as instructed, and around the time of our first appointment, I was feeling incredibly relaxed, not sleepy or drowsy, care about the prescription medication made me feel, but I was simply more calm and collected. My meeting went smoothly, and I was able to have a light and playful, yet intentional conversation with the client. Before our next meeting, I took another half of a gummy to see how it would make me think and I care about it! Edible cannabis has now become a area of our biweekly regimen, and I am never going back to the prescriptions.
