When I returned from the grocery store this afternoon the hallway in my apartment building was thick with the scent of pot and something else I wasn't able to put my finger on. I couldn't help but consider spending some time sitting out there in the hopes of reaping some pain relief. I would be lying if I tried to say this was the first time it occurred to me that pot may be a good thing for my migraines. Truthfully, I think about it often.
I've never smoked anything in my life and don't really have any interest in starting now but I would like to try baking a marijuana treat to see if it would prevent or stop my migraines. I do have my normal rescue medications but I'm not crazy about them. When I first take the meds my migraine will get much worse for about an hour, and then it will slowly start feeling better (but it rarely takes all the pain away). Then I'm left in a fog and my heart feels off. Perhaps the pot experience would be more positive.
I honestly am not just looking to get high. If I could be free from pain I would be as high as I would ever want to be.
Unfortunately, I don't live in a state where medical marijuana is legally and safely available. I don't even know how I would go about obtaining it on the streets so I guess for now I'm left to my wondering. Perhaps the day is not far off when medical marijuana is readily available everywhere in the country. I sure hope so. I would be comforted by the regulations and quality assurance that would come with the legalization of pot.
Have any of you tried it? What happened?
