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, I was one of those people at one time.
I didn’t know anything about medical marijuana.
I thought people using marijuana as medicine was a joke. I learned absolutely quickly how wrong I was after the doctor prescribed medical marijuana for the pain in my back. I thought that the doctor was joking, even though he told me that this was the only alternative that he could recommend unless I wanted to start 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 brother. He is doing 10 years in the state penitentiary because of an addiction to heroin, but that’s one of the reasons why I did not want to ever start doing drugs. I regularly thought marijuana was a drug until the doctor said I should start using it every single day. I didn’t 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, and once I saw how medical marijuana could entirely help the pain that I was feeling everyday, I wanted to share the news with everyone that I knew. I didn’t care if they thought I was silly or not. Marijuana truly does make people feel better and it entirely helps with pain. I am a believer now and forever.
