I asked my doctor for a prescription for marijuana, and he asked me why I needed it.
I explained to him how I had been a regular smoker for over a decade.
Weed helps me relax and relieve stress, it lowers my blood pressure, and it helps me sleep better at night. He said those were not valid reasons, and instead prescribed me six different pills to help me. I turned down his prescriptions, and found myself a new doctor. Anyone who says that addictive medication is more beneficial than medical cannabis is crazy, and should not be listened to. The state elections recently changed the laws and made medical marijuana legal for anyone who had a valid prescription. I don’t know why my doc was against medical marijuana, but I’m sure the next one will be more amenable to my needs. The practical applications for medical marijuana are endless. For example, smoking a big fat bowl of medical cannabis first thing in the morning allows me to drive to work and greet my coworkers without shouting insults at them. Medical cannabis helps take the edge off after a day in the office, and allows me to sleep peacefully through the night. I may not have a medical ailment that requires the use of cannabis products, but I believe that I need them to keep living my life. My problem is that the medical cannabis dispensary is right down the street, but they won’t sell to me without a prescription. If you know of any cannabis friendly doctors, let me know!
