I remembered getting up in the morning, and barely making it to the bathroom. My feet were burning and walking was painful. My back was bent from the pain, and the pain radiated down into my limbs. I was born with scoliosis and it has worsened with age. Although I wore a brace to keep me upright, the pain was getting worse. When I read about the medical marijuana dispensary, I found a local doctor that could prescribe it for me. I paid him well for his services, but I now needed to get the medical marijuana ID card. My first trip to the medical marijuana dispensary wasn’t fun. I had no idea what I wanted or needed. I told several people how much pain I was in, and how it was every nerve in my body. They brought out their in-house pharmacist who spent almost an hour trying the perfect combination of items for me. She gave me a cream to rub into the spine and one for my hands and feet. I told her I didn’t want anything greasy. Medical marijuana actually smelled nice. It reminded me of an orange grove. She then asked if I would like to try a cartridge pen. I could get a higher concentration of medical marijuana, and it would work more quickly than the pills or other products. I bought a pen and two different cartridges. One was for every day, and the other was for night time. I can’t believe how life has gotten easier with medical marijuana, and I never want to go without it.
