My sister has suffered from depression for years. When she was in high school is when the family started noticing. My parents began watching her and taking her to doctors. College then made it really spike where it got dangerous. My sister has been on and off a wide variety of pills. You name a medication, my sister has tried it. The side effects are not great and it takes a while for the pills to go into my sister’s system. I remember one pill made my sister cry all the time where another one made her seem loopy and out of it. I wanted her to have a more natural fix. When medical cannabis started gaining popularity I was excited to hear that depression was something it helped. Medical marijuana is slowly becoming the norm. Also, cannabis is being legalized everywhere. Unfortunately our state is slow on the uptake. My sister needed to go to a doctor, get a prescription, set up an account, pay for her script and then wait for her medical cannabis card to come in. Then she was able to get her cannabis oil at the dispensary that helps with her depression. My sister loves relying on weed way more than she did pills. She doesn’t have the horrible side effects and can take a puff anytime she is feeling low. I know she smokes in the morning and at night for sure. I like that she can secretly smoke just about anywhere and get relief. She seems more like herself now.
