A Better Grade of Stress

Medical cannabis smokers in California will probably agree that they can get a better quality of "stress" at many of the local dispensaries.  If you're a new medical marijuana patient, visiting the dispensary for the first time can be overwhelming.  The large displays of quality sativas and indica are enough to make a O.G. pot smoker lose their mind!  But once you're accustom to going to the dispensary on a regular basis, you'll get over being overwhelmed.  Soon, you'll even start thinking about ways to reduce your weekly medical cannabis expense.

Choosing to Smoke "Stress"
When you have the advantage of having access to quality marijuana, it's hard to imagine choosing to smoke stress, which is a slang meant to represent the low quality, street grade of cannabis.  It is usually less potent and contains a lot of seeds and stems.  In most cases, the stress in NO way compares to even the "bottom shelf" dispensary cannabis (This is usually where they keep the most affordable marijuana).  However, since I've been going to certain dispensaries, I've found that you can usually obtain stress for some type of discount or bargain price.  In many cases, it's you may get some pretty good marijuana!  I did recently.  It had a lot of seeds, but the cannabis was potent.

You may find it hard to believe, that there will actually come a time that you occasionally return to buying stress..  Keep in mind, the dispensary stress is a better quality.of marijuana.  You can pay less than $10 bucks (like before you got legal) for a gram, but you won't have to hang around some strange location, hoping to score like in the past.  Before I obtained my medical marijuana card, like a lot of other cannabis patients, I used to get my medication the best way I could.  Many people who now medicate with cannabis have had to  make a few less than legal transactions before they became legitimate.  You may never want to see another bag of stress.  If the idea of medicating with stress is a turn off to you, I say at least take a chance and check out what your dispensary has to offer.  You may be pleasantly surprised!

Most of the week, I've been enjoying what you see depicted here in the photo  The budtender let me have it for $7 a gram and trust me, it's the "chokin kind!"

Cannabis: Appreciating the Freedom to Medicate

I got up thinking about how much I truly appreciate the freedom to medicate with cannabis. Living in a 420 friendly city like Los Angeles helps a great deal in the whole scheme of things. Having a medical cannabis card, I wake up and decide what I need to do for  the day, so I know exactly what meds I need to take.  My time isn't wasted trying to figure out how and where to get marijuana since I'm now legal and free to medicate with cannabis.

Don't Take Your Meds for Granted
It is important that new medical marijuana patients NOT take your medical cannabis for granted.  You have to STOP viewing yourself as the casual pot smoker you used to be! I've adapted this attitude recently, although I've been medicating for pain ever since 2004. That is when I was diagnosed with cubital tunnel in my right wrist, along with a related condition that affects my inner elbow. You can read about my trip to legal marijuana (pun intended).

I'm a full time freelance writer, so as you can imagine, my medical situation affects my work a lot. But I refuse to stop doing what I love best, writing. That is why I had to learn the right way to get the benefits from my medical cannabis. I still experience pain and discomfort from my condition, but smoking marijuana helps me to push through it and get my work done. Cannabis has always been a source of relief for me. I get distracted, if not relief, from the intermittent pain in my wrist and elbow. Thank goodness for medical pot. This blog is my show of appreciation for the freedom to medicate this way.

The remaining week will focus on obtaining choice information to discuss on this blog, in addition to my affiliate blog sites. In order to do this, I will need to steer clear of Indica strains, and note the best Sativas that I find. This will help my mind stay focused and in the right state of mind, and my body not too relaxed.
