How I discovered the benefits of cannabis for medical use

It’s been 10 years since my diagnoses and my adult life has consisted of battling the symptoms of my chronic condition. My original use of cannabis had always been recreational, until I began to notice the relief I felt from my Lupus symptoms after smoking cannabis.

As a proud cannabis consumer, it may be considered a biased opinion for me to say I am certain that my cannabis use from the beginning of my diagnoses has allowed me to continue to lead a normal life and has only benefited me positively, but the proof seems apparent. To my friends I’m just a stoner with a great excuse, but to others in the same position as me struggling daily with a chronic illness and living in a country where it’s illegal to grow, distribute or possess, I am probably seen as lucky. Lucky because I am able to obtain the cannabis I need. Many people suffering do not have these links to obtain cannabis and find themselves forced to buy from the black market.
