When my dad’s anxiety got out of control my mother’s solution was to get him on happy pills.
She took him to a doctor that forced a prostate exam in order to get his medications. Then he had to remember to call in the script. After that, my father needed to pick it up, actually take it and renew it again once the pills were up. He was horrible about this. More often than not my father was off his pills. Even on his pills he wasn’t great. When the year was up and he had to go back to the doctor, he flat out refused. I found that the medical weed route is so much easier on the patient. My father didn’t need to get a prostate exam. He just talked to a doctor for a few minutes. I then filled out his papers online, paid his 75 dollar fee and he got a card in a few weeks. Anytime my dad runs out, he just goes to the dispensary near him. Rather than pop a pill, he can vape cannabis oil. Since he is a mechanic it is easy for him to keep a vape on him and his boss is very cool about it. My father is now always on medical weed and his anxiety is so much better. After the year is up, he only needs to see his doctor for one visit and he is back in business. My dad isn’t dreading it at all and plans to renew. It is just so much easier and nicer to do medical weed rather than pills. I feel it is healthier for him mentally and physically too.
