I am 28 and have multiple medical conditions which are a pain in the ass in of themselves. I have psoriatic arthritis, nerve pain, complex migraine, anxiety and depression... etc. These conditions alone sometimes can be completely debilitating. But combined make my life hell sometimes.

I am not a “stoner”. I smoke to feel better mind and body.... Last year I had a migraine that would leave most in absolute debilitating state, but I went to work, and while there it progressively got worse and worse. I was talking to a co worker when I felt an incredibly loud pop, rush of fluid over my brain and my body became limp and numb on one side.

911 was called and I ended up at the major hospital in my state. I really thought I had a stroke, meanwhile texting my best friend who had had a brain aneurysm. When I arrived I immediately was tended to and was put on medications that would help with stroke in the long run. I went through several scans, I was terrified! I will say the neurologist that was working me up was AMAZING!

In the end it was just a complex migraine and I was hospitalized in the icu for a few days. Now before this I was only smoking once in a blue moon but after the second time of this migraine I ended up starting to smoke while seeing a neurologist. I tried everything including shots. Nothing was working so I decided to try weed.

Not only are my migraines not there. I’m happy, I’m hiking again, I am going out and doing things again. I’m finally at a place where I can function.

Life is better with someone you love
