It’s all about finding the right coping mechanisms to deal with the bad stuff in life.
When my kids were babies I struggled a great deal with stress and anxiety, and eventually even a few bouts of mild depression.
The kids weren’t as stressful as the job I had to work in order to pay for the kids. Working in an office was slowly crushing my soul, even as spending my evening with my family was enriching. It was my wife Susan who proposed that I take a trip to the local cannabis dispensary and consult with a budtender. I had no idea at the time, but it’s possible to set an appointment with a budtender, who will give you a tour of the cannabis dispensary and explain all the various products. This was a life-changing moment, and I am deeply grateful to Susan for suggesting it. Now I have a small supply of cannabis products at home, some of them to help me unwind at night, and others to help me get through the work day. Since I can’t go to the office reeking like marijuana smoke I bought a few packages of gummies. The cannabis gummies look and smell just like candy, but give me a pleasant buzz that makes the office less stressful. In the evening I come home to Susan and the kids, we eat a big family supper, and then I step out back to smoke some cannabis. Usually I choose indica strains of marijuana, for their full-body relaxation effects. My life is a lot easier with cannabis.
