Marijuana news and updates

April 20th happens to be a sweet time of the year to stock up on cannabis.

I genuinely try to save up all my money in April and not spend a large amount on things that I don’t need so I have a lot of extra money when April 20th arrives.

420 has been known across the world as a holiday for people that thoroughly enjoy smoking marijuana, and there are lots of unusual sales and specials at all of the local dispensaries, especially for people living in states with totally legal laws. I live in a state that has recreational and medical marijuana dispensaries and every one of the places around here has a sale going on. I have been looking at all of the unusual online advertisements, however a lot of the places don’t truly put out a lot of information until the morning of the sale. I would easily prefer to get as much free stuff as possible, however last year my pals and I went down south where there are a tremendous amount of marijuana shops, however we stayed overnight in a hotel and my buddy and I were only a few blocks away from the cannabis place in town with the most excellent prices. We got a fair amount of free stuff because my good buddy and I happened to be in the appropriate place at the right time and my buddy and I even saved a reasonable amount of money with a huge amount of buy one and get one free specials. 420 is absolutely the most enjoyable time of the year. They don’t even have deals this amazing even on Christmas. I’m easily hopeful to find some live resin concentrates on sale. They typically cost a lot of money, however BOGO would make them far more affordable.

 

medical marijuana

The doctor made it sound like medical marijuana can help just about everything, but I wasn’t so sure.

My brother was eager for the state to pass laws for recreational marijuana.

He said medical marijuana wouldn’t help him. He was sure medical marijuana wasn’t the same as recreational marijuana. I had to go online and show him articles where states had already legalized recreational marijuana. It was being sold in the same dispensaries, but the pricing was different for recreational marijuana than it was for medical marijuana. Some marijuana products weren’t legal for medical marijuana users to purchase. There are some marijuana products available only for recreational use, which medical marijuana users can’t purchase. If you are using medical marijuana, you can’t purchase edibles, but you can purchase ingestible. Edibles are gummies, space cakes, brownies, etc… Ingestible marijuana products are pills, capsules, and oils that are put under the tongue. Our state has some odd laws about being able to buy flower, but you can’t smoke it. You can, however, vape it. The more I read about the laws and regulation placed on medical marijuana use, the less I wanted to use it. I knew I would find something over-the-counter that would help with my pain, as long as I kept looking. I just wished I knew when that time would come. My brother told me if they ever legalized recreational marijuana, he would buy it. As far as medical marijuana went, he still wasn’t sure it was the same as recreational marijuana. He said he didn’t trust the government, and I laughed.

I don’t think anyone really thinks that someday they will need medical marijuana.

I know some people who have been potheads since we were teenagers. They often said they wished someday they would make recreational marijuana legal so they could buy it anywhere, but that isn’t the same as medical marijuana use. People who use medical marijuana have a medical condition that modern medicine can’t help. I’ve tried many over-the-counter and prescription medicines for insomnia. I will sleep well for one or two days and then I’m done. I lay awake for hours, afraid to get up and wake my husband. When I finally go to sleep, I wake up two hours later, and I am wide awake. If I slept past 4 AM and had gotten to sleep before 1 AM, I feel like I had gotten enough sleep. By lunch time, my body is jumpy from lack of sleep, but I can’t nap. Most medicines the doctor has given me, makes me feel like I’m walking in a fog for most of the day. I have nightmares or I see people walking around the room, but they don’t talk to me. Over-the-counter medications do the same thing. The doctor told me he wanted me to try CBD, but he wanted me to get it at the medical marijuana dispensary. He was sure the CBD would be purer and would work better than what you get in the store or pharmacy. I checked the pharmacy for CBD, but it was so expensive that I almost fainted, but it was cheaper than going to the marijuana dispensary.

Before I talked to the doctor, I wanted to see if medical marijuana would even help with my problems.

I had been anorexic for a long time now, and I was fearing the damage it was doing to my body. I tried to take care of it myself, but I was weak, and I no longer had an appetite. My husband wasn’t happy with me, and he told me to get my weight under control, or he would leave. He hated watching me push food around my plate and never eat it. I told him I wasn’t hungry, but he knew better. I knew he was joking when he told me marijuana gave you the munchies, so maybe I should go back to being a pothead. I was healthy back then, even if I was too heavy in my eyes. He thought I was beautiful. I went online the next morning and started researching if medical marijuana could help with anorexia. My psychologist had talked about it. She told me that anorexia was a mental condition that became physical. She thought marijuana may lessen my depression and I would have a better appetite. I would need to use it religiously if I wanted it to help. My mind would need to be reprogrammed and realize that eating was essential to living. I told my husband I applied for a medical marijuana ID card and had been approved. He thanked me and said he couldn’t wait for us to get back to being us, and enjoying eating meals together. I had to agree, but it was something I couldn’t yet picture for me.

 

how to get a medical marijuana card

After going through the hassle of getting my medical marijuana ID card, I finally decided it was time to go to the marijuana dispensary. The only thing that bothered me was that I didn’t know where the marijuana dispensary was. I went back to the state website that showed all the marijuana dispensaries in my area, but there were none. I put in that I wanted a marijuana dispensary within twenty miles, but nothing came up. I changed the parameter to within thirty miles, but still nothing showed up. I had to go out fifty miles within my area, and I finally found three marijuana dispensaries that were within fifty miles of my home. I didn’t want to drive almost one hundred miles round trip to get marijuana. I got twenty miles to a gallon of gas, and I would use almost twenty dollars in gas just to get to and from the marijuana dispensary. I was then going to need to pay at least one hundred dollars for my marijuana. I wished I hadn’t gotten the medical marijuana ID card, because then I wouldn’t be so upset about needing to drive so far to a marijuana dispensary. Had I just passed on the need for medical marijuana, I would have almost five hundred dollars more in the bank than I had right now. Hindsight is 20/20, is what my mom and dad always told me, and I was seeing 20/20 right now. Instead of complaining about it, I drove to the marijuana dispensary, talked to the pharmacist, and came home with something said to help with my pain.
