Overall health, well-being and quality of life before medical cannabis
I was not sleeping as well as I am now, I was using some hash I can’t smoke pot I don’t like it for me but hash is ok and I liked it in the 60’s but never did smoke much pot, but now with the gummies it helps with alot of my other pain my meds don’t seem to touch.
Additional info about this time in patient's life
Im glad i have found something that works so well, it worked well for my husband before he passed away I grew for him, but i really prefer the edibles and do hope with legalization they don't pull the edibles as i have heard they might I want to be able to buy quality gummies that are safe for my consumption
