Medical Cannabis

Updated: Mar 16, 2020

I haven’t been able to write anything related to this topic because of the country where I was residing and it’s strict laws agains any use of cannabis.

I used to believe that the use of cannabis with medicinal purposes was just an “excuse” that people use to get high.

Two years ago as I traveled to Holland I decided to make my own research, before the trip I was reading so much about it but I wanted to have first hand information. I went to the cannabis college and the guide hearing at my questions that were so precise asked me about my interest and I told him about AS He suggested me to talk to an expert who wasn’t there at the moment but he could try to set an appointment. He called and told me to come back in a few hours…

I went back and spoke with him, he was incredibly kind explained everything I asked and more! and gave me his recommendations… I still was a bit skeptical, but decided to give it a try with CBD no THC at all. I started vaping while being in Amsterdam, I had no psychoactive effects (as he said) but it helped with the tightness on my hips, joints which was great since I was walking at least 10 km per day around the city…

Few days later I traveled to Spain were I was to spend the rest of the summer, the doctor had given me a number of a trusted place to find cannabis with the right percentage amount of THC that would be the right one to take in case of any crisis of pain. To be honest, I was sooo scared! I had never in my life smoked or had anything to do with any kind of “drugs”, calling the man and going to the place was like a “life experience” to me. I bought it but deep inside I wasn’t thinking of using it at all!

A couple of weeks later a BIG crisis of pain came up, I was literally crying hidden in the toilet because I didn’t want my kids to see me like that but my eldest son heard me, I asked him to please call a taxi and take me to the nearest hospital! He suggested to me to try the cannabis I bought, I told him that I just needed serious painkillers and that that thing won’t work, he kept pushing me and just for the sake of getting as soon as possible and stop the arguing (he is completely against the painkillers since he has seen the post effects that they have on me). I did, “knowing” that it won’t work! Surprisingly it worked within few minutes the pain was COMPLETELY gone! The best part of it was waking up without the hangover from the painkillers, I slept like a baby and woke up like new.

I haven’t been able to try I for longer periods of time because of the country I was living, and thanks god my symptoms are much better, I haven’t had big crisis of pain but now that I moved to a country were the use of cannabis is more open I will definitely use it whenever a new crisis of pain comes up. In the meantime I have been using topical cannabis cream after training and it helps like nothing else I have ever tried.
