It was somewhat embarrassing to admit I used medical marijuana
When the nurse asked if I regularly used medical marijuana, I was embarrassed to admit it.
When he first asked, I wasn’t actually certain what he was getting at.
He made me feel kind of like I was doing something wrong. I asked him if it mattered that I was using medical marijuana? He told me he needed to upgrade my medical files, and a certain part involved the medicine I was taking. I told the guy I had been using medical marijuana for the past several years. He asked if I was using legal marijuana, and I told him yeah. When he asked who the nurse was that prescribed medical marijuana, I refused to tell this guy. I knew who the nurse was, and he was sanctioned by our state, but I didn’t know it was my nurse’s business. He told me he had to completely know why I was using medical marijuana and if it helped much with my particular condition. I still thought he was being nosey, but I told him it was for my rheumatoid arthritis. Before I started using medical marijuana, my rheumatologist told me I would be in a wheelchair when I reached the age of forty. I didn’t even know I had arthritis until he started telling me that. I thought the aches and pains were because of the task I did and taking care of several babies and a dwelling. With the help of medical marijuana, I could keep moving, the pain was bearable, and I was in a better mind frame. I was actually the only patient he had that used medical marijuana regularly.
