For years, I had been having problems concentrating.
It started when I was in elementary school. I would study, but I couldn’t stay focused. I remember getting so frustrated that I by the time I was in high school; I was ready to quit school. My parents told me I couldn’t quit school, and they expected me to graduate. After twelve years of tears and extra work trying to do my homework and school work, the doctor told me he knew what was wrong. He told me I was dealing with ADD. I wasn’t hyperactive, and he laughed when I told him that. He told me that ADD was attention deficit disorder. My mind would go into overload between what I was thinking about and what I was trying to learn. He was sure that now I was an adult, I could use marijuana to help with my ADD. My mother refused to let the doctor give me medicine when I was younger, but she was okay letting me try medical marijuana. After taking care of the paperwork for the medical marijuana ID card, all I had to do was see the doctor again, and have him give me the go ahead through the state. I couldn’t believe how simple, yet how expensive it was to get a medical marijuana ID card. My mom got her medical marijuana caretaker’s ID card so she could get the medical marijuana when I wasn’t able to. After a month of using medical marijuana, I was already feeling better, and doing my job had never been easier.
