The reason I'm so frustrated with society is I "know" how most of them think. I use to be one of them. LOL I experimented mildly with drugs in my teens but was very Nancy Reagan (just say no) in my 20's and most of my 30's. Even prescription drugs or Tylenol. That was all well and good when I wasn't CRIPPLED. Then I needed them and changed my mind (funny how that works). Cannabis was suggested to me for YEARS and I did a LOT of research before actually trying it. It's not perfect.....it had some side effects but they were less debilitating than most of the drugs I've been prescribed by "well meaning" doctors. I'm sorry I was so pissy about doctors.....I KNOW they mean well most of the time. I just wish my doctors would stop dismissing me and REALLY start listening to me. The LAST thing I'm willing to do is trade my current problems for drug addiction but I cannot function without help and for me personally, cannabis really helped. I just get judged and part of my mental illness problems is I care too much what people think and I'm a little too smart for my own good .....so when someone judges me, I pick up on it.....even if they don't outright say it. I need to get over this and get on with my life but if it were as easy as all that I'd be cured. I need therapy more than antipsychotics but I only get 6 therapy sessions a year and it's more cost effective for my insurance providers to push hard core medications. I'm sorry I'm so frustrated......I just want to be cured and see very little chance of that happening....but cannabis helps and I thank you for starting this thread .....it's helped me see that my husband is right and I need to get over caring about being judged and just get back on "The weed". Lol
