With a Reefer Madness Past, He Found Relief In The Magical Cannabis Plant:

It seems every day someone will share yet another success story with me in which they too have found some type of relief from Cannabis that their prescription medications simply would not give. For some, it’s migraines and body aches and for others it’s about stopping seizures, killing cancers, and so much more. The versatile cannabis plant has amazing abilities with its hundreds of components literally filled with many of nature’s essential oils, or terpenes, that have intensive healing powers. Many overlook these and tend to concentrate on the THC/CBD debates, others have reached a tad deeper down the Cannabinoid Medicine rabbit hole and found quite a few ways to give ourselves the relief we need. Karen tells a story about her father, who she helped out and made sure he had treatment after a life-threatening wreck.

“I have witnessed the use of this magical plant change my father’s world. This isn’t a crazy story of how marijuana cured my dad’s incurable disease, but rather one of seeing a baby boomer come around to accept something he has been scared of his entire life! We had a “normal” upbringing, alcohol was around but never any drugs, not even marijuana.

“My dad was involved in a horrific vehicle accident that basically broke my father into pieces. The highway was shut down for hours and they needed the jaws of life to extract my father. The other driver walked away with no injuries. My Dad took the entire impact sustaining multiple life-threatening injuries. He was in the ICU unconscious for over 2 weeks, survived 13 surgeries, and was a permanent resident of the hospital for 3 months. He survived the surgeries, the physiotherapy, and being away from home for so long. He had some really terrible days, depression, another injury that isn’t visible to the naked eye. To say the least this was a terrible event for our family. That was 2 years ago, he is now walking with a cane or walker, he has a terrible limp that he won’t be able to rid himself of, a painful memory of the accident. He is now leading a fairly normal life considering he almost died and has been literally been put back together. He is not half as functional as he used to be but we are grateful to still have him on the planet!”

“Medications! Dad was taking a cocktail of prescription drugs for months, the pain he experiences is unbearable and it hurts to see someone you love in so much pain. When we brought dad home he had his blister packs of toxic pills to ingest daily to keep the pain at bay. I have self-medicated with cannabis for years, black market cannabis, not the best way to treat yourself but most of the time it worked for my back and neck pain and chasing the elusive sleep dragon. Despite our attempts, Dad would not try cannabis, he is so terrified that he will have hallucinations, etc. He was raised as a farm boy and was warned of the dangers of the “Devils’ Weed”, hallucinations, tripping out and losing control. We convinced him to try some brownies I whipped up with a friend’s special butter, after a few tries he started to feel the benefits. He felt relaxed, and that was enough to get him to explore further. With more encouragement from friends he eventually got a prescription from his doctor and started taking CBD oil. He started talking to more people about it and did some research of his own, he now graduated to a CBD oil and a THC oil, treating inflammation, pain and helping with sleep.”

“I have seen how much this plant has helped my dad, not only physically but also psychologically, he has gotten around the obstacle of fear and is now reaping the rewards. I know he will be using these products for the rest of his life and they will continue to make his life better!”

His story is similar to many – pharmaceuticals for pain mimic what cannabinoids can do but nowhere near as well. Doctors are still very uneducated in the world of Cannabis and fail to learn, even those that recommend cannabis to patients per the law are not tested at any level of knowledge because a doctor may not tell someone exactly how to use medical marijuana per a 9th district finding. This is why many will give a ‘medical card’ to a patient, especially in the easier states, with less than 10 minutes sitting with them and basically not much of a clue of the history.
