When sister 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, but at sixty-years old, they did not prepare her to be a mommy again, however that is what they had forced her into. Her anxieties were so high that she couldn’t 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, but she didn’t feel she and her partner could afford it. She was taking nerve pills, but she said they made her sleepy, and with a ten-year-old, you need to be awake when they are. She said her best buddy was telling her how fancy it was to get the medical marijuana ID card, and that the marijuana was even more fancy. I had to admit that the cost of getting the ID card was outrageous, however 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 day. I gave her the name of the healthcare worker I went to, and she agreed to check it out. A month later, my associate and I were talking and she said she had acquired 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.
