Using cannabis for stress and pain due to job

My job is extremely demanding and stressful.

I work long hours and am responsible for big projects and tight timelines.

Because I spend the majority of my days sitting at a desk, staring at a monitor and typing on a keyboard, I have developed some health issues. The combination of a sedentary lifestyle and lots of pressure has resulted in migraines, insomnia, upset stomach, painful joints and even muscle cramps. I decided against seeing a doctor and getting a prescription for synthetic medicine. I am unwilling to risk side-effects that are far more harmful than my symptoms. I tried a variety of natural home remedies with a bit of success. A coworker of mine suggested a visit to the local cannabis dispensary. Stepping inside the dispensary for the first time was a bit overwhelming. I hadn’t realized there were so many types of products available. I had no idea what to purchase. Fortunately, a budtender greeted me, listened to my issues and was extremely knowledgeable. He helped me explore different options and make smart decisions. I’ve now gotten a little more comfortable with cannabis and have experimented with potency, strains and methods. I’ve found that a combination of vapes and topials work well for me. I use full spectrum CBD ointments to treat pain and inflammation. I use indica vapes for better sleep, relaxation and headache relief. I recently discovered CBD bath bombs that are really wonderful at the end of a long day. Soaking in the hot water opens up the pores, making it easier for the cannabinoids to penetrate and provide benefits. Plus, they are infused with epsom salts and various essential oils. They smell just lovely, and my skin feels great afterward.
