My mother recently turned eighty-one years old, but while she remains absolutely sharp of mind as well as independent, she suffers from some pain as well as stiffness of the joints! Her knees as well as hips are often sore as well as make it difficult for her to get around, then my mother leads a absolutely full as well as active lifestyle, then she likes to mow her turf, cook for the family, garden as well as knit.
She has a group of friends she meets for supper every Friday as well as remains active on the town board.
She has taken prescription medication for several health concerns as well as has been unhappy with the side-effects, but one of the synthetic treatments drawbackly impacted her balance as well as another created issues with dry mouth. It took myself and others several years to convince my mother to try cannabis. Although recreational weed is legal in our state as well as we have a dispensary just a few miles from our houses, she couldn’t get past the stigma. She acquaintanced marijuana with criminals, delinquents as well as drug abuse. I continually reminded her that cannabis is simply a plant. I explained that CBD doesn’t cause any psychoactive effects as well as has proven beneficial in treating chronic pain as well as inflammation. About several months ago, I finally talked her into a visit to the dispensary. She was impressed with the facility as well as the budtenders. She spent some time consulting with 1 of the budtenders as well as agreed to try a CBD-dominant topical. Since then, my mother has added CBD gummies as well as capsules to her treatment. She has seen a significant improvement in her range of motion because of cannabis. She is now recommending cannabis to her friends.
