I hated cough medicine as a child more than any of my six other siblings combined.
It pains me to remember how I gave my parents a lot of grief whenever they tried to give me some during the times I was sick.
Head colds would tear through our household like tornados starting with one sibling and making its way through the entire family until every last one of us was infected. Since I have had asthma from birth, I usually got the sickest out of everyone else in the family, even worse than my grandparents with their compromised immune systems. Thankfully I quit getting sick so much after I moved into a studio apartment following college graduation and got away from students and family members all of the time. When I’m at work, I keep my workspace cleaned and sanitized and I’m careful not to touch my eyes, nose, and mouth at random times while I’m at my job or in public. The last time I got a head cold, I could barely choke down the cough medicine. That’s why I was so reluctant to try cannabis tinctures when my medical marijuana doctor recommended them. The cannabis tinctures sit under your tongue so they can absorb sublingually. They work faster and stronger than traditional marijuana edibles in my limited experience. Thankfully the cannabis tinctures that I purchased had a good taste to them and didn’t make me feel sick to my stomach like I do when I have to choke down nasty cough syrup. That means I can utilize cannabis tinctures when I want a cannabis product that will give me effects for longer than an hour or two at a time.
