I can’t believe there is such a stigma on marijuana.

Ever since I have been using medical marijuana on a daily basis, I have changed my outlook on marijuana.

I remember being the so-called goody two shoes when I was younger.

I was brought up in a very strict, religious household, who did not believe in dancing or drug use. I know it sounds odd but dancing and drug use in the same sentence, but our church made it sound like they were both demons. As I got older, I realized that dancing can be a lot of fun, and it does not lead to inequities. Now that I am in my 60s, I’m realizing that using marijuana does not mean that I’m a drug addict. When using marijuana for something other than to just get high, it becomes a part of medicine. I was taking 14 pills a day, and seven of them were for pain. Once I discovered marijuana and what it could do to ease my pain, I could get rid of some of those painkillers. It was nice to not walk around the house as though I was in the fall go all the time because of pain pills ‌I was taking. I wasn’t dizzy 90% of the time. Medical marijuana could take the edge off my pain and give me a lucidity that I hadn’t had in years. I took off the blinders and I couldn’t believe that for so long there was such a stigma on marijuana use. More people need to take off their blinders and realize that marijuana is for more than just getting high.

The nurse couldn't believe I told her I was using medical marijuana.

Several months ago, I had to go to the emergency room for severe stomach and back pain.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I knew I was hurting.

It took them nearly an hour to call me into the triage room. During that time, I was pacing back-and-forth in the waiting room because the pain was excruciating and I couldn’t sit. I was in the triage room for less than five minutes before the nurse told me ‌I had kidney stones. She asked what I was using for pain and I told her I had medical marijuana. She looked at me a bit oddly, and I thought she was going to say something negative. I was so wrong about the negative comments, because she only said, “Good for you”. She told me that if she could legally tell patients, she would tell them that marijuana should not be a stigma, but something that people use to help ease pain and so many other complications of different ailments. I was in so much pain that I didn’t give any thought to blurting out that I use medical marijuana. Had I given it any thought, I would have said nothing in case she would have thought I was a habitual drug user. Ever since hearing her comment, I realize that using medical marijuana should not be something to be ashamed of. Having a medical ID card and using marijuana products in the proper way should carry no more stigma than the use of prescription drugs. I just wish more people felt this way about the use of marijuana products.

I could smell the marijuana before entering the dispensary.

I’m not sure what I expected the first time I walked into the marijuana dispensary, but I wasn’t expecting to smell marijuana even before getting through the doors.

The odor of marijuana was so overpowering that I was sure I would be high even before I got back outside. It’s not even like I have a lot of experience with the odor of marijuana, but if you smelled it once, you never forget that odor. When I got inside, I commented to the budtender about the powerful smell that was outside. She thought it was funny and said that she’s got used to it and didn’t even notice anymore. I didn’t think that the scent of marijuana was something that I would ever get used to, because it was so pungent. That was the ‌odor that any long-term marijuana user would equate with their youth. Even though my older sister and brother used marijuana back in the 60s, I just didn’t see any sense in using it. If they were both alive today, they would be shocked to find out that I was using medical marijuana. I guess, to be honest, I’m a little surprised at myself for using medical marijuana. All of that aside, I’m glad that I can purchase legal marijuana for medical purposes. Over the last two years, medical marijuana has been the only thing that has given me the ability to get out of bed in the morning and keep moving all day long. I don’t even want to think about where I would be right now, if it hadn’t been for medical marijuana.

I couldn't wait for our dispensary to allow delivery in my area.

Not being able to drive, I have a difficult time getting to the marijuana dispensary.

My husband works long hours, and he is not in the mood to go to the marijuana dispensary when he gets home from work.

We usually wait until weekends, and then the traffic is so heavy that he gets frustrated sitting in it. Last month, I heard that our local marijuana dispensary was considering allowing delivery in my area. I was excited to hear this news. All I would have to do is go online in the morning, put in my order, and have it delivered that afternoon. When I went to the marijuana dispensary yesterday, I questioned them about the possibility of having a home delivery made. The budtender said she knew nothing about home delivery, but she asked if I would want to and she would send out a manager. When the manager came out, I asked him about the home delivery services? He said that it was something that the owner of the dispensary was tossing around, but they didn’t think there would be enough customers who wanted home delivery, so they bagged the idea. I couldn’t believe that they didn’t see a need for home delivery. There were so many people who had the same difficulty getting to the marijuana dispensary as I did. Maybe they should have taken some kind of survey to see who would and would not use home delivery if the medical marijuana dispensary offered it. I don’t know if home delivery will ever come to fruition, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I thought I could make brownies from medical marijuana.

With 1/2 an hour, he asked me just how much RSO oil I had put into that batch of brownies

When they opened the medical marijuana dispensary in my area, I was excited. I asked my husband how hard he thought it would be to make brownies from medical marijuana. He said I could probably make them the same way he did from regular marijuana. I had never made pot brownies before,and I wasn’t even sure what they should taste like. I went online to get some recipes for pot brownies, cupcakes, and Gummies. I found so many recipes that used marijuana, that it shocked me. I couldn’t believe people were using marijuana in so many ways. I talked to one of the bud tenders at the medical marijuana dispensary and asked them about the easiest way to make pot brownies. He looked at me kind of oddly and said you should not discuss that here but; he recommended ‌ I use a concentrate. He showed me several concentrates that they had and told me how to use them. I couldn’t wait to get home and make my first batch of brownies. Once I got the brownie mix all mixed up, I carefully put the entire file of RSO into my pot brownies. My husband was the first one to taste the pot brownies, and all he could do was smile. With 1/2 an hour, he asked me just how much RSO oil I had put into that batch of brownies. I told him I put in the entire vial. He raised an eyebrow and said that I picked up the wrong RSO oil. I used an RSO oil that was very high THC content instead of the RSO oil that had low THC and a high CBD content.

It looked like recreational, and medical marijuana would be legal.

For almost a month, we had been hearing them talk about legalizing recreational marijuana almost every day.

Every newscast that you saw had some kind of blurb on how close our state was getting to legalizing recreational marijuana.

My husband was still on the fence about whether it would ever really pass into becoming a law, backspace. Now, here it is six months later, and they have dropped the subject of legal recreational marijuana. Although legal, medical marijuana is going strong in our state, they are making it more difficult to get. They are trying to eliminate all marijuana dispensary products that have more than a minimal amount of CBD. With my arthritis problems, CBT is the one thing that my doctor told me would be best for me to use. The reason for going to a medical marijuana dispensary to purchase CBD was because it was not just a hemp derivative, but they made it out of quality marijuana plants that gave it better potency for helping with pain. My doctor knew that I didn’t want to use THC. I was not interested in getting high or using it as a hallucinogenic, but I wanted to have CBD with a small amount of THC to help ease my pain and make the rest. I have a lot of family members who used to enjoy using recreational marijuana, but it looks like that part of the law will not pass this year, but I’m glad the medical marijuana will still be legal. I feel bad for family members who used street recreational marijuana for pain, but they could get the medical marijuana ID card just like I did.

I loved the new medical marijuana dispensary.

Some of the medical marijuana products were used to help eliminate the inflammation and swelling that comes from arthritis pain, which is what was causing my spinal deterioration

Last week, they opened up a new medical marijuana dispensary in our area. Legal, medical marijuana laws had passed several years previously, but this was the first time they had a marijuana dispensary in our area. I had my medical marijuana ID card for three years now, and I was excited to go to the local marijuana dispensary instead of needing to travel 50 miles away. When I got to the dispenser, I had to put my medical ID card up to a small camera, and then wait for them to buzz me in. My husband, being my caretaker, had to do the same thing with his caretaker’s ID card. Once we got through the major hurdle of getting inside, I could ask for the help of one of their on-site pharmacist. I explained to the pharmacist about the pain I had going from my lower back into my‌ legs, and I explained to them how my spine was slowly deteriorating. He showed me several products he had to help ease the pain and make it easier for me to walk. Some of the medical marijuana products were used to help eliminate the inflammation and swelling that comes from arthritis pain, which is what was causing my spinal deterioration. Driving 6 miles to this new marijuana dispensary was so much easier than driving 50 miles to the last medical marijuana dispensary that we use. Being able to drive a short distance and still get all the marijuana products that I needed made my life so much easier. My husband is happy to have a marijuana dispensary that is closer.

I really didn’t feel right using medical marijuana.

I hadn’t used marijuana when I was a teenager, and I wasn’t feeling right abut using marijuana now that I was getting old.

I remembered how many times I had warned my children and grandchildren about the dangers of using marijuana. I believed it was a gateway drug because that is what my parents had taught me. How could I feel good about using marijuana products now, just because they legalized medical marijuana? I told my husband how I felt about using medical marijuana, and he said to not say anything to anyone. He didn’t think it was anyone’s business if I used medical marijuana or recreational marijuana. Fortunately, medical marijuana was now legal and if it could help me to stay walking, he thought it was a good idea for me. I swallowed my pride, and headed to the medical marijuana dispensary. After speaking to the pharmacist on duty, they gave me their recommendation on what products I should start with. She talked to me about some products called sativa, that is best for daytime use. It helps relieve pain without making you sleepy. The next thing she brought out for me were some creams and salves that were applied topically where the pain was the worst. The last thing she gave me was what she called an Indica. Indica typically has more THC, which is used to help you ‌sleep. Her recommendation was to use these sativa products during the day to help me continue moving, and use Indica at night. Every couple of hours, I can also rub the cream or salve into the area where it hurts the most.

Don’t buy products based on their name.

A few nights ago, I made a really silly mistake. I had run to the marijuana dispensary to pick up some products for my mom. My mom has a medical marijuana card and I have a card as her caretaker. I was heading over to her house for dinner, and she asked if I could pick up her online order on my way. The dispensary was right on the way and it would be no problem at all. When I got into the dispensary, I told them who I was there for and they told me they had her order ready. While waiting for them to bring it out to me, I started looking around at the marijuana products. I spied a single product that was called pineapple express! Pineapple express was also on sale, so I obtained some for her. When I got to my mom’s house, she asked why I would buy that kind of marijuana product. I told her that it’s because I love the name, and it sounded as though it might be fun to use. She informed me that she would not be using the pineapple express marijuana because she does not use products that would get her high. While she thanked me for the gesture, she was looking around and wondering where her actual order was. It turns out that I left the bag at the dispensary. My mom gave them a call and found that they still had the order right where I left it. I got into the car and got back to the marijuana dispensary as quickly as possible. I guess I didn’t do the best job running that errand for her.

Indica

My husband bought it because the name was intriguing.

Last week my husband came home with marijuana flower for me! I had asked him to go into a marijuana dispensary for him and pick up some marijuana products.

  • He had his medical marijuana caretaker’s ID card, and since he was already going shopping, and the marijuana dispensary was less than 1/4 mile away from the grocery store, he agreed to stop for me.

However, when my husband got into the dispensary, he told them who he was there for and they told him they had my order ready. While waiting for them to bring it out to him, my husband started looking around at the marijuana products. He spotted one product that was called northern lights, which just so happened to be on sale. My husband decided to buy some for me. When he got home, I asked him why he would buy that kind of marijuana product. He told me that it was because he thought the name was cool since he always wanted to see the Northern Lights. I burst his bubble when I told him that I was not looking to get high, which is what would happen if I used the northern lights marijuana. I thanked me for making the purchase, and asked him where the rest of my marijuana products were? In his haste to purchase the northern lights and bring it home to me, he had paid for the entire order but left my online order on the counter. He called the marijuana dispensary and told him ‌we would be back within the next 15 minutes to grab the rest of the order. I was pretty sure he was going to have me return the northern lights if he was already this silly without it!
