I realized that medical marijuana would be able to help me in my life, but I was concerned about smoking pot after all this time.
I was 60 years old when I made the choice to try marijuana for the first time.
Even though I grew up in an era where a bunch of people were experimenting with drugs, I was having little ones as well as working at my household. I never went to parties, rock as well as roll tunes festivals, or did drugs like marijuana or LSD. I was actually scared when my healthcare worker recommended medical marijuana, but nothing else was helping with the pain that I was dealing with. The healthcare worker explained to me that I should expect some side effects from the use of medical cannabis. She gave me an informational pamphlet that listed all of the different types of side effects, then some of the side effects weren’t a pressing deal like slow reaction times, as well as a considerable increase in appetite, as well as impaired memory as well as concentration. Other side effects such as a potential for rapid heart rate, dizziness, as well as withdrawal symptoms made me feel especially anxious. Even though the healthcare worker was saying everything would be fine, I was still hesitant to try medical marijuana edibles. I experienced side effects that were somewhat serious in the beginning. I felt totally paranoid as well as I was sick to my stomach. I also felt like I could not concentrate very easily. I kept losing focus as well as I could not remember what I was doing all the time. I was also extremely tired. Some of these side effects have worn off, but I still make sure to use marijuana in a safe environment in my household.
