Helping my mom with medical marijuana
She had something to help her with withdrawal symptoms, and another product to help her with the pain she was going through
For many years, I watched our mother struggle with the opiate drugs the doctor provided her for pain, but she was upping the dose every couple months, and I knew she had become addicted. I needed to find a way for her to deal with the pain plus get off the opioids. I knew an associate of mine was using medical marijuana, and I asked her how hard it was to get mom medical marijuana. She provided me the web address for the state medical marijuana program and told me it was easy to follow. Within more than two weeks, we had a medical marijuana ID card for mom, and I was going to take her to the marijuana dispensary, and mom was not sure both of us were doing the right thing, although I was sure medical cannabis was better than opioids. She was 90 years old, and I didn’t want to see her wasting her last couple of years dependent on opioids. When we made the choice to go to the cannabis dispensary, mama told me she was as uneasy as a young girl going out on her first date. She was still going through withdrawal from the opioids, although I assured her that the medical cannabis would help her. We talked to the pharmacist, and I told them what was going on, and the pharmacist was quick to tell our mother what she should be using. She had something to help her with withdrawal symptoms, and another product to help her with the pain she was going through. Within a month, my mama was almost back to where she had been before all the drugs the doctor provided her. I used to recognize medical marijuana was better than opioids, now I am sure of it.
