Marijuana helps with my mental health
Marijuana absolutely helps with my mental health. It makes me feel more calm and relaxed. I have suffered from mental health issues since I was a teenager. I medicated with lots of different drugs when I was younger. When I was in my twenties, I was in and out of rehab four times. My last stint in rehab lasted for 2 months. While I was there, I had to enter an aggressive treatment program. In the treatment program, some of the doctors talked about using medical marijuana to help with mental health issues. I learned more and more about medical marijuana while I was there. When I left the treatment program, one of the doctors gave me a prescription so I could get medical marijuana for my cannabis dispensary near me. It was very expensive to get the cannabis dispensary card, but my mom and dad helped with the fees. They were the ones paying for rehab and they wanted me to do better. When I told them that medical marijuana might be able to keep me off of drugs, they were happy to pay the price for the card and anything else that I needed. Rehab is covered by insurance, but medical marijuana is not. I spend about $100 every week on medical marijuana but I have not relapsed in 8 months. This is the longest I have been sober and off drugs since I was a teenager. Medical marijuana really helps me feel much more mentally stable and I think it’s going to help me stay clean too.
