Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Flint, MI

I have used marijuana since age 17. I have self-medicated for a number of conditions and after trying many prescription medications, marijuana seems to be the only thing that has worked. Over the years, the types of marijuana I’ve had access to has been sporadic; sometimes what I acquired worked and other times it didn’t do anything except get me high. I was hesitant at first to register with the state because I didn’t know what to expect but I have kids and I didn’t want to go to jail. Since I got my medical marijuana card, I’ve been able to choose medicine by doing research online and finding different types of marijuana with the properties required to treat my conditions. I’m glad that I registered with the Michigan medical marijuana program because I have a consistent source of quality medication that I grow for myself.

After 35 years of working in a nursing home kitchen on a hard linoleum floor my all of my joints ache and my feet and hands hurt all the time. My daughter suggested I try using medical marijuana, I have used marijuana from time to time over the years with one of my husbands friends, but I never really thought of it as a medicine before. When I went to the office, the doctor told me about marijuana with a greater CBD content which would not get me nearly as “high” as what I had used previously; I was excited about that. I was able to find a caregiver who provides me with CBD marijuana and a topical salve that I apply to my feet and joints which works better than anything else I have ever tried. I would encourage people like me to give this a shot, it really works.

I was tired of using so many opiates, they made me lethargic and unmotivated. I wanted to continue to watch my granddaughter after school as she grew older but my doctor kept increasing the amount of medication which I needed to take daily. I knew I needed something to change so I decided to go ahead and get my medical marijuana card. Medical marijuana has allowed me to reduce my opiate use while managing my pain more effectively. My whole family can tell the difference, I am glad I decided to look into this.

Before I got in the car accident, I never used any sort of pain management medicine. I was proud that I could handle on my own. After the wreck, I got addicted to opiates, I felt like they were making me sick and stealing away my life. The best part about using medical marijuana is that it has allowed me to sleep deeply; before I could hardly get more than two hours of rest at a time and that made me irritable and cranky. Even spending time with my family which was the the center of my life and greatest joy became difficult, I would snap at my daughter or granddaughter and then feel awful about it. This made me want to spend more time alone, which again made me feel even worse. I’m so thankful that my son-in-law convinced me to look into trying medical marijuana, it reduced my withdrawals from the opiates when I quit and allows me manage my pain at a level I can tolerate.
