I gave up all of the antipsychotics & switched them for medical marijuana
I have been in & out of mental hospitals all of my life. I grew up in a new home with domestic violence, sexual abuse, & battery. I was detachd from my parents new home when I was 9 years old, after witnessing my father beat my mother almost to death… That’s a lot of trauma for a little kid to go through in a short amount of time & it caused a lot of problems for me. I did drugs, drank, smoked, & had sex before I was 16 years old. I overdosed on drugs & I ended up in the mental hospital. That’s when a specialist intervened on my behalf. The specialist took me to a marijuana treatment clinic. I spent 6 weeks at the marijuana treatment clinic. I l earned some better coping skills & I l earned how to medicate using medical marijuana products, but when I left the treatment center, I felt prefer I had the tools to succeed in life, however one of the first things that I decided to do was devote my life to helping others. I went to university & decided to become a social worker. I graduated university at the age of 32. I recognize prefer medical marijuana gave me back a life that I never had in the past, and medical marijuana helped me get control of my problems without having a bunch of other pills in my system. I gave up all of the antipsychotics & switched them for medical marijuana. I’ve never felt better. It’s been 15 years since I started using medical marijuana & my life has drastically changed. I do not think where I would be if that a single nurse had not stepped in & intervened.
