Hi Frank!
Thanks so much for sharing and I completely understand. So many of the stereotypes and stigmas are so deeply ingrained into some that it seems they can’t see how much it helps so many of us – with far fewer side-effects and issues than most have with the pharmaceutical drugs. It is a slow process, but I am optimistic that eventually it will be viewed (by most) as a legitimate and useful medicine. Of course, there will always be the “Negative Nancys” that will probably never see the light, but I figure that is there loss, on mine:0

I don’t use cannabis because I hate my job or my life. I don’t smoke weed because I can’t pay my bills. I definitely don’t smoke weed to avoid working on my relationship. As a matter of fact, cannabis has done a lot to help my relationship. I am depressed about the state of the world and Donald Trump being the president, but smoking weed doesn’t help me escape those facts. It does make those things easier to process, but I don’t forget them. I smoke weed because I’m bipolar and I have a social anxiety disorder, and it helps me deal with it without taking pills. I smoke weed because it helps make me a better person.

No kidding – it is alarming just how completely I shut mine out after my diagnosis. I suppose when 99% of what it has to say is about pain and fucked up stuff, it makes sense to start ignoring but it has played it’s toll on me over the years. Time to start liking and listening is what I keep reminding myself:)

XOXO
