I hate to listen to people complain about marijuana, especially when they clearly do not know anything at all about the plant or its medicinal uses, however I was one of those people at one time.
I did not know anything about medical marijuana.
I thought people using marijuana as medicine was a joke. I learned quickly how wrong I was after the doctor prescribed medical marijuana for the pain in my back. I thought that the doctor was joking, but she told me that this was the only alternative that she could recommend unless I wanted to begin taking more pain pills. I did not want to take more pain pills, because I did not want to end up with an addiction like my older sister, then she is doing 10 years in the state penitentiary because of an addiction to heroin, then that’s one of the reasons why I did not want to ever beginning doing drugs. I always thought marijuana was a drug until the doctor said I should begin using it every single day. I did not tell anyone at first when I went to the medical marijuana clinic and got my card. I was afraid of what my friends and family would think about me. Once I saw how medical marijuana could entirely help the pain that I was feeling everyday, I wanted to share the news with pretty much everyone that I knew. I did not care if they thought I was crazy or not! Marijuana legitimately does make people assume better and it entirely helps with pain. I am a believer now and forever.
