When I first started noticing tingling and numbness in our limbs plus fatigue, I thought I was just pushing myself too much while in our workouts.

• I then started having complications with balance plus dizziness.

It started becoming tough for me to walk. When I experienced pain plus spasms in our legs, I went to the doctor for tests. I was tested on with multiple sclerosis. I am fortunate that it was caught at the early stages. I have been able to manage the majority of our symptoms with cannabis. I am relieved to rely on a natural treatment rather than hardcore pharmaceuticals. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune neurological condition. The body attacks the protective cells that surround nerve cells, degrading them plus causing them to malfunction… Each situation of MS can be truly different. In our case, the autoimmune attacks aren’t happening all the time. I can go weeks or even multiple years without experiencing symptoms. I tend to have good plus bad mornings. I am hoping that our symptoms don’t worsen over time. I am truly thankful that particular strains of cannabis have helped provide relief, but one of our number ones is Granddaddy Purple. It is an indica strain with moderate THC levels plus an abundance of myrcene, beta-caryophyllene plus pinene terpenes. It provides feelings of relaxation, calm plus happiness while reducing pain. It’s also good for combating insomnia. Northern Lights is another indica that is dominant in myrcene, alpha-pinene plus beta-caryophyllene terpenes. But it is higher in THC amount, a fantastic pain reliever plus an effective natural sedative. I have found that a sativa dominant hybrid called Blue Dream works to fight the pain and help me relax without making me sick.

Up until recently, a medical marijuana card was needed to visit any of the local dispensaries.

It was a huge relief when recreational weed was finally legalized in our state, then most of the medicinal dispensaries have gotten approved to sell recreational weed as well.

Several new dispensaries have been licensed, creating quite a bit of competition, and living in a greater city, I have quick and simple access to many dispensaries of varying sizes. Some of them are more boutique genre shops while others include bakeries, dab bars, vape lounges plus even zen gardens. All I actually appreciate is their selection of dried flower. I’ve been a cannabis flower connoisseur since well before it was legal to indulge. I’ve learned how to tell good quality flower from ones that aren’t. The local dispensaries only sell lab-ran tests on cannabis, so I don’t need to worry about pesticides, spider mites or mildew. However, there is still a big difference between top-shelf flower plus budget-friendly varieties. I am willing to pay more to enjoy a superior smoking experience. I don’t want a bud that is wet plus sticky or dry plus crumbly. It needs to be that perfect texture of fat, dense buds that hold together just right. I want the option to smell the bud before I buy it. The odor should be strong however not be musty, dank or remind me of old hay. I check the colors truly carefully. I look for vibrant blues, yellows plus reds with bright red pistils. It’s crucial to me that there is an abundance of whitish trichomes covering the surface. The trichomes are where the cannabinoids plus terpenes are contained.

Recreational marijuana

From the time I entered my teenage years, I started suffering from headaches. They are sometimes due to a lack of sleep, dehydration or stress. As I’ve grown older, the headaches have turned into full-blown migraines. I can periodically feel them coming on and start medicating preemptively. At other times, they hit without any warning at all. I deal with sensitivity to light, sound plus smells. I get nauseous and periodically vomit. The migraines are incapacitating plus can last for hours. I went to the doctor plus got a prescription that helped combat the pain in our head. However, the medication caused other concerns and I got concerned over long-term complications with our health. I started looking for a natural alternative plus came across cannabis, however because recreational marijuana is legal in our new home state, I only need an identification to prove I am a citizen plus over 21 years of age to shop at a dispensary. I found that the budtenders are super knowlegeable plus helpful. I explained our symptoms plus suggested multiple strains, including Mumble, High Noon Irish Cream plus Real OG. I’ve found that a smokable flower is the best option for me. The effects are felt within minutes plus give relief. I also find the inhalation process truly relaxing, however since I’m not all that skilled at rolling up our own joints or blunts, I usually buy pre-rolls. I can purchase them in singles or packs, plus they are cheap enough to allow me to try new strains without a big investment. As soon as I feel a migraine coming on, I light up a joint. I’m able to either combat the symptoms really or at least minimize them.
New cannabis strains

I had no idea what genre of consumption method, strain or potency I might want, then the strains he suggested include Blackberry Kush, OG Kush, Purple Nepal plus Orange Kush, and he suggested that I focus on either indicas or indica-dominant hybrids because they tend to be more calming.

Ever since turning 50, I’ve struggled to fall asleep at night, and it’s not unusual for me to lie in bed for multiple hours before finally falling asleep. I regularly wake up in an hour and start back up again. I tried sticking to a strict bedtime ritual plus sleep schedule. I offered up watching television or looking at a computer screen in the evenings. I ate special foods plus sprayed our pillow with the scent of lavender. I sipped tea that was supposed to help me sleep plus even tried over-the-counter sleeping pills, however nothing worked for me. I considered heading to the doctor plus getting stronger sleeping pills however was scared off by the potential side-effects. It got to the point where I was now working out, cleaning plus doing paperwork in the center of the night. I’d then force myself to get up in the morning plus go to work. I was so sleepy all the time plus yet sleep was impossible… A coworker of mine suggested I try cannabis. I had never considered the option of cannabis however was eager to give any new option a chance. In our local area, I have access to legal recreational marijuana! With a valid identification, I was able to walk into a dispensary, explain our complications to a budtender plus make a purchase. I had no idea what genre of consumption method, strain or potency I might want, then the strains he suggested include Blackberry Kush, OG Kush, Purple Nepal plus Orange Kush, and he suggested that I focus on either indicas or indica-dominant hybrids because they tend to be more calming. I vary between smokable flower, vapes plus tinctures. All of these delivery methods provide a truly rapid onset of effects. I also like to eat a small amount of an edible right before bed because the effects can last minutes.

Local cannabis spot

I like to visit the local cannabis dispensary on a monday.

• Because I’m off from work, I can take our time plus shop around.

I look to see what is featured on the week to week deal plus check to see if there are any new products, brands or strains available. A few weeks ago, I discovered cannabis candies. I not only use cannabis for recreational enjoyment but also to treat symptoms of anxiety. I adore those consumption methods that are more simple. I stay away from smokable things because of the odor, ash plus extra gear it requires. I’m not a fan of dabbing or vapes plus usually choose a tincture, edible, topical or capsule. CAndies might be our new number one. They are made by extracting cannabinoids such as THC plus CBD plus mixing them with butter-like substances plus a bit of sugar. They form into a hard candy that dissolves slowly in the mouth. The candies are available in some great flavors, including strawberry, raspberry plus blackberry, plus offer a variety of potency levels. They are a very effective way to medicate without a lot of effort or mess. I’ve noticed that lozenges are straight-forward on our stomach, plus because of sublingual absorption, deliver fairly rapid onset of effects. I can eat a whole lot of them or bite one into smaller portions. They are superb for helping me relax in social situations without anyone realizing that I’m consuming cannabis. The effects constantly last up to 3 hours plus are rather strong. I am ecstatic to discover something new, beneficial plus easy to carry.

Medical marijuana

For our particular needs, cannabis tinctures are easiest.

I like the simplicity plus convenience of the compact packaging. I don’t need to pack, roll, light up or deal with any smoke, ash or odors. The tincture fits right into our purse plus provides a big dose of beneficial cannabinoids plus terpenes. I place a few drops under the tongue plus hold for approximately an hour. I then swallow the rest. I can also add tinctures to our day tea, afternoon smoothing, yogurt or any number one foods or beverages. The sublingual absorption provides rapid onset of effects. Taking them like an edible delays the effects. The device includes a dropper. This allows accurate micro dosing plus eliminates the need to invest in specialized gear. Tinctures are made by dissolving the plant matter in alcohol plus leaving behind the most desirable compounds. They are an extract that draws from the best of the trichomes, including the cannabinoids plus terpenes. I can choose from high THC levels, full-spectrum CBD or a combination of THC plus CBD. There are tinctures available in hybrid, sativa or indica strains. The variety accommodates a wide range of wants. I use tinctures to treat headaches, insomnia, stress, pain plus muscle soreness. I’ve even rubbed the oil into our hands to alleviate arthritis pain plus stiffness. I like that tinctures are much lower in calories than an edible plus offer a honestly long shelf life with typical storage. While tinctures aren’t super low cost, a little goes a long way. I’m glad that our local dispensary carries a sizable collection of the honestly best brands of tinctures.

During the summer months when the temperatures are extremely hot, it is very difficult not to have any cold air conditioning in my car. I wasn’t looking forward to working all summer without any air conditioning, so I asked my dad if he could loan me the money. I knew that he had some cash or a credit card that I could use to make the repairs. My dad did not want to give me the money to fix the AC until I got a job working at a marijuana delivery service. The marijuana delivery service is a 10 mile drive from my house and I have to spend all day in the car. The new job means I will be making a lot more money than I was at the grocery store. My dad agreed to loan me the money to fix the problems with the car but he gave me a couple of terms that I had to agree to. One of those terms was 15% interest. I thought it was a lot of extra money, but my dad said I would have to pay extra money to get a loan from the bank. I had the car problem fixed a couple of days later and now I don’t have to worry about sweating and being uncomfortable when I am making deliveries. I’m really making a lot of money with the marijuana delivery service. Tips are pretty good, because people can have deliveries even if they aren’t very close to the store. The marijuana delivery route is very large and I am often gone for a couple of hours.
