For years, I had been plagued with depression.
- Sometimes I wouldn’t get out of bed for days on end, because of the depression.
My marriage was on the rocks, and my baby was suffering from my lack of caring. I was sending my child to daycare, so I didn’t need to take care of him when my husband wasn’t at home. I finally talked to the doctor and told him his traditional way of treating depression was only making it worse. I needed to get rid of the depression or, at the very least, get it under control. He said there was no cure for depression, but with some counselling on how to control it, and some natural medicine, I may keep it well-controlled. I was curious about the natural medicine he spoke of. When he said I could try medical marijuana, I thought he was crazy, but he said it was almost a miracle medicine. Medical marijuana could help me handle the depression and become a part of the world again. If it made me a better mother and saved my marriage, I would try anything, including medical marijuana. I told my husband what the doctor said, and he was so happy, he nearly cried. He wanted his wife back, and we sat down to fill out all the paperwork for medical marijuana. Thankfully, my doctor had the credentials to get my medical marijuana card for me, which made the process less expensive. After a couple of months of marijuana therapy, I was feeling like me again. I was becoming a better mother, and my marriage seems to be improving.
