It was so weird that my old friend from college just wouldn’t take no for an answer.
He was coming through town on business and wanted to drop by and see me.
We have remained close since our college days but I was also at my lowest point with my chronic pain. My buddy knew this as he had been a great ear for me over the phone. Turns out, he had a pretty good cannabis education and he wasn’t leaving town until he saw me and we talked about it. This wasn’t the first time my friend and talked about the medical marijuana benefits when it came to pain management. But I was still completely convinced that the doctors would figure this all out. However, it had been almost four years and I was only become more debilitated and subsequently isolated. My wife was carrying the whole financial load as I couldn’t even work at all. Shoot, I could hardly even get out of bed. And still, I was so resistant to even the idea of using cannabis products. I didn’t really find the idea of being stoned on medical marijuana and in pain to be all that appealing. Looking back now, just six months later, I’m so eternally grateful that my buddy just wouldn’t take no for an answer. He finally just showed up at the door and my wife brought him in the bedroom. He basically put on a medical marijuana benefits presentation. It ended with step by step directions on how to get a medical marijuana card right here where I live. I was convinced enough to get through the medical marijuana rules and get to the legal weed store. Thanks to my friend and the cannabis flower products I’m now using, I’m starting a new job next week.
