My father has really bad anxiety. It started out just being something that has him slightly nervous to being a full blown problem. My dad started having trouble driving to work. He also got really negative and had very depressive thoughts. My mother’s solution was to take him to a doctor and get him on happy pills. The doctor made him wait hours in the waiting room and required a prostate exam. The pills had side effects and my father never remembered to call them in. He was always off his medicine. When it came time to renew the prescription and go back to the doctor, he flat out refused. I have a recreational marijuana dispensary near me. I have learned about the pros of recreational weed. I talked to the local budtender on what to do. No prescription or doctor’s visit needed. No exams or money out of pocket. My father was able to walk into the recreational pot shop and pick out what he needed. The budtender got him set up with a vape and an oil cartridge. The strain has THC and CBD in it. My father is a peach farmer and is outside most of his day. It is great that he can keep the vape around his neck and take a puff when he needs to. He loves vaping cannabis oil vs taking a pill. When he needs more, it is an easy stop to get it. I also can pick up his products if I need to. It really has been helping him out.
