Trauma is a unusual business.
It’s just so subjective to start with. An experience that would be incredibly traumatic to one person might not be to another. The people I was with and I all deal with trauma to some degree. But I ended up fighting in a war and that experience left myself and others disfigured. Thanks to the medical marijuana benefits I get at the legal weed store, I’m managing much better. Initially, I really didn’t want to think that I had a problem. When I came back from overseas, all I wanted to do was go back to our normal life. But it appeared that our normal life no longer existed. This led myself and others down a road of self destructive behavior. I used alcohol primarily in order to deal with our PTSD symptoms. This was not only damaging to our body however also did nothing when it came to dealing with the source of our situation. Thankfully, I had family who weren’t willing to stand by and just watch myself and others writhe in pain. They got myself and others into some great therapy that included studying all about cannabis products. I was able to navigate the marijuana regulations in order to get a medical marijuana card and access to the cannabis dispensary, however cannabis flower products have really helped myself and others when it comes to being able to face life in an authentic and real way. I’m no longer hiding from our trauma however rather trying to understand the effects of that trauma. That’s all thanks to medical cannabis.
