Healthy appetites come with medical marijuana treatments

Waking up in the hospital not knowing what just happened is not something that I ever want to repeat.

The utter shock at finding my family surrounding me in a hospital room was all it took for me to seek treatment for my eating disorder.

Finally, my body just said enough was enough and shut me down. With the help I’ve received from my therapist and treatments with things like medical marijuana, I’m finding out that life can be lived healthy. Most of my eating disorder can be attributed to body image negativity that I developed as a young person. Just too much emphasis was put on me to adhere to a certain type of body shape. That simply wasn’t my natural body shape. Cannabis products and therapy have helped me accept and love the body I’m in. That’s just one of the medical marijuana benefits when it comes to my situation. I also am finding that I can embrace a healthy appetite when I treat with cannabis products. My cannabis products of choice is ironically an edible. When I use the cannabis gummies I get from the cannabis dispensary, I recognize my appetite and accept it as a good signal. That is not the way it worked prior to discovering medical cannabis. Food is no longer the enemy. I’m learning to embrace my appetite and answer it with healthy eating choices. I’m so much better now and I even look forward to seeing my friends at the legal weed store. They have been so supportive and kind through all of this. I have a lot to be grateful for and a big one is the fact that medical marijuana is legal where I live.
