I hope it helps, though I have my personal objections to medical marijuana.
I know a lot of people use it recreationally, but you are the first I've encountered that has a medical need.
I don't know how old you are, so idk what year your "younger days" are, but it seems marijuana is a lot stronger than it was decades ago. And now that you have your med card, you can go into a dispensary and pick out whatever you want. You can ask them what strain they have that has the highest THC content, if you want something really strong. Or you can tell them what you're looking for and they'll suggest some strains.
Medical marijuana is actually very effective for many users and can significantly increase the amount of prescription pills a person has to take for chronic illnesses, as marijuana is generally much healthier than any Rx drug I can think of (as well as otc meds).
But people can get a med card for almost anything. They can tell the doctor, "sometimes I have trouble sleeping" and that will suffice.
"nina... didn’t you mean DEcrease?"
Yes, I definitely meant decrease. Idk what happened there.
To clear it up, yes, I meant it can significantly DECREASES the amount of Rx meds and even over the counter meds one has to take. Even aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, (etc) are much more dangerous than weed.
I remember a couple weeks or so back, someone started a thread about having a headache and whether they should take Ibuprofen or Tylenol or something like that... several users warned about the dangers of ibuprofen interacting with other medications (like blood thinners); that is another good thing about weed. It can generally be taking with other medications without any serious adverse effects. And Marijuana is much safer than aspirin, Tylenol, and ibuprofen. People die from taking those. No one has ever died directly from marijuana use. It's virtually impossible to OD from weed.
It treats so many illnesses, can help save the lives of people undergoing chemo as it helps with nausea and pain, helps chronic pain of all sorts of illnesses, can help treat seizures / epilepsy, insomnia, digestive issues, etc.
"^^Can it help with anger management issues?"
Oh, yeah, two_bits. It is a mellow high, and typically doesn't incite violence in its users like other substances do; after smoking, I just want to relax and be chill with anyone I'm smoking with. It is actually extremely difficult for me to get angry at people and act upon that anger after I have smoked. I just want to chill. After a few shots of whiskey, however, nobody better look at me wrong...
