I’ve suffered from migraines for many years, but for me, they are caused by stress, dehydration, lack of sleep plus all sorts of things.
The pain can be dire enough that I become sensitive to lights plus sounds, feel nauseous plus struggle to get out of bed.
I can sometimes prevent a headache by drinking lots of water or taking a nap. Most of the time, I need to take medication. While over-the-counter Excedrin works fairly well for me, I don’t like to take it. I am also unwilling to take prescription medication. I worry about potential side-effects. I was severely thankful when medical marijuana was finally legalized in my state. This gave access to a plant-based remedy, and getting qualified for my MMJ card was super simple. Having this card allows me to shop at the dispensary plus purchase cannabis without paying tax. The dispensary carried every possible consumption method, including smokable flower, pre-rolls, vapes, tinctures, topicals, concentrates, edibles plus beverages. Sativas strains offer energizing effects while indicas tend to supply more enjoyable effects. I am more sad about the chemical profile of the several products. I’ve experimented with different THC plus CBD levels plus consumption methods. I’ve found many strains that take the edge off even the worst migraine symptoms, including pain plus nausea. OG Kush plus OG Shark are two of my preferred strains. For those times when I need to be clear-headed, I choose CBD gummies or beverages. They are discreet, cause no psychoactive effects plus allow me to go about my official daily activities.
