Had I not asked my doctor, I don’t know for sure that it would have dawned on me to figure out how to get a medical marijuana card.
Medical cannabis has been legal a few years now and we have several legal weed shops in town these days.
First of all, that just really makes me happy. I was quite the advocate for medical marijuana and that was well before I found out that it could help me with my insomnia. No, I was into legal weed stores because there are so many out there who are suffering needlessly because weed was criminalized. For me, I didn’t use cannabis in any form when I was advocating for it. But when I ran smack into a the hell that is insomnia, I didn’t even think of medical cannabis for the longest time. That’s because the doctors had me on a couple of medications. They helped a good bit with me getting sleep. However, those meds came with a powerful hangover. I always felt so groggy and off using those meds. And that’s tough to work or have a life when you feel as though your head is in a fog. Luckily, I just happened to bring this up to my doctor. And sure enough, he encouraged me to get through the cannabis rules and get to a cannabis dispensary. I did just that and have found that a specific strain of cannabis flower products does a better job with the insomnia. But I have zero hangover the next day and can work and live normally.
