I was in the Army for 8 years and during that time I spent 6 years in combat. I was constantly in fear for my life and I barely slept more than two or three hours at night. When I came home from the military, my wife and I had a lot of problems. I had PTSD and I couldn’t sleep at night. I was up until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and then I was sleeping during the day. I was taking a bunch of meds one day and I ended up on the roof. I fell down and broke my leg. After that the doctor said I needed to try something other than medications. That’s when the doctor suggested medical marijuana. I started using medical marijuana every single day and it has helped in a lot of different ways. Medical marijuana helps the pain and my leg and the pain that I generally feel from 8 years of active duty. Marijuana also helps me with PTSD symptoms. Marijuana helps me sleep more soundly at night so I don’t have many nightmares. Marijuana became part of my everyday life. When I wake up in the morning I smoke a bowl and I have a vape pen all day when I am at work. As soon as I get home at the end of the day I use my bong to get high. I don’t go anywhere unless I can stay well medicated because it makes me feel better. I generally have less anxiety around people and I’m a lot more friendly.
