My doctor recommended using medical marijuana and I didn’t know very much about marijuana or using it as a medication. I knew there was a war on drugs and marijuana was their problem. Aside from that, I really didn’t know anything about the plant. I knew that I didn’t want to develop a smoking habit after 40 years of being alive, so I believed smoking a joint was out of the question. The doctor said there were lots of different types of medical marijuana. He sent me to a dispensary close to the hospital that has a staff filled with certified budtenders that know the difference between a sativa and an Indica. This is really important when it comes to choosing the right type of medical marijuana. When I went to the dispensary, the lady behind the counter told me about a product called tinctures. Tinctures are an edible marijuana product that contains a small dosage of medicine. Tinctures taste a lot better than other marijuana products. The dispensary had a lot of different pictures and they are all easy to drink. They taste pretty good too. The tinctures come in a variety of different flavors like grape, watermelon, blue raspberry, and even bubble gum. I can set the tincture directly from the bottle, but I actually prefer to mix it with a juice or soda pop beverage. My favorite tincture is a 10mg drink that tastes like lemon limes. When I mix it with lemonade, it has a nice tart flavor that takes the taste of the marijuana away completely. It also takes away most of my knee and neck pain too.
