Smoking cannabis to alleviate menopause symptoms
I am one of the last people anyone would suspect has a legal medical cannabis prescription.
I have always had difficulty sleeping.
Once the symptoms of menopause showed up, I couldn’t even manage a few hours of sleep. My hot flashes were so intense that they were occuring every hour. I would struggle to fall back asleep for hours and feel like a zombie the whole next day. I started researching online for what I could do to improve my sleeping patterns and minimize menopause issues. A lot of friends my age recommended that I turn to cannabis. They said to search out a cannabis dispensary and speak with the budtender about the right strain for my concerns. Since my state has legalized medical marijuana, I needed to fill out some paperwork. I was required to meet with a doctor about my issues and pay a small fee to get my medical marijuana card. Now I have a legal prescription for cannabis flower and oil. The budtender I spoke with has helped quite a few women who are suffering the same problems as me. She found the perfect strain I needed and told me to take a couple of hits right before bed. Honestly I would have happily smoked a whole joint, bowl or even consumed a whole suitcase full of edibles in order to sleep. I am not worried about getting completely high. I am so desperate to avoid feeling sweaty and exhausted all the time. Smoking cannabis has really helped me out. I am no longer as apprehensive about going to bed. My hot flashes are not happening as often at night. I am considering the idea of smoking during the day to reduce them as well.
