I am of an age where just about anything that could be linked to approval by physicians was a giant marketing ploy.
There was always the phrase, four out of five doctors recommended such and such a product.
That was used in so many different advertisements. I don’t watch a lot of TV with commercials these days so I don’t know if that’s still in fashion. But I love the fact that my local cannabis spot was actually doctor recommended. The idea of one of those old school commercials ran through my head on the way home from seeing my shrink. I have been in therapy now for about two years and it has changed my life. Who knows, it might have saved my life in fact. But for sure, I am living a life now thanks to having the courage to reach for help. Still, I was a bit stunned that my doctor suggested that I go shopping for marijuana. I had asked about getting some sort of medication to help me release my stress at night and relax. I don’t drink and I wasn’t real interested in sleep medication. So I had hoped there was something in between. But the response being that I swing by the local cannabis spot was not at all what I was expecting. Yet, that’s just what I did. I talked with the really kind person working with me just what I was looking to change. She had just the right kind of indica dominant hybrid strain waiting for me. The idea of smoking anything really turned me off so I was so glad that I could get this cannabis in an edible form.
