When sibling and I were talking one afternoon, and she was telling me about her anxiety.
She was under a lot of pressure because she was raising her pre-teen granddaughter. Her kid was in jail, and her. granddaughter’s mother had recently committed suicide; At sixty-years old, they did not prepare her to be a mommy again, but that is what they had forced her into. Her anxieties were so high that she could not sleep, and when she did, it was the sleep of the dead. I asked her if she thought about medical marijuana. She told me she had, despite the fact that she didn’t believe she and her partner could afford it. She was taking nerve pills, despite the fact that she said they made her exhausted, and with a ten-year-old, you need to be awake when they are. She said her best friend was telling her how lavish it was to get the medical marijuana ID card, and that the marijuana was even more lavish. I had to admit that the cost of getting the ID card was outrageous, but the amount of marijuana you got was enough to last me two months. If she used medical marijuana as often as she used her nerve pills, it would truly last her for three months or more. It wasn’t something she would use every afternoon. I provided her the name of the healthcare worker I went to, and she agreed to check it out. A month later, my wonderful friend and I were talking and she said she had gained her medical marijuana card and gone to a medical marijuana dispensary. She was surprised to get what she did for less $100. She was sure it was going to last for three months or more, and it worked.
