I am a card-carrying cannabis oil patient.

My own research made cannabis the first priority when it came to my health, and accessing the plant legally also covered my second priority, stress reduction.

This plant takes the edge off the stress of any situation. I immediately feel myself breathing more evenly and deeply after a two-second inhale of my vaporizer.

While I taste subtle hints of citrus and pine from the terpenes in the plant, there is no smoke or odor.

My state of mind is totally under my control with the vaporizer.

I am able to access the plant in a topical, liquid and vapor form in the sunshine state, with a recommendation from my medical marijuana doctor and a card from the Florida office of compassionate use.

The more strains I try, the more I learn to curate my mood for the tasks or tornadoes of the day. I use the tincture twice per day for pain and anxiety, I use the vaporizer as needed throughout the day.

My marijuana doctor, Dr. Ralph Rophie of Clearwater, Florida, says some dispensaries have higher standards than others, but the legal medicine is “safer than ketchup”.
