OK I’ve been thinking about how to save this for at least the last two months. Understanding that there are possibly many people who don’t know this and it could potentially harm long-standing relationships but at this point I don’t care.
I don’t talk a whole lot about having cerebral palsy because it’s just part of me and I don’t know me without it. There are many different forms of cerebral palsy. Nobody is exactly the same. My CP is honestly very painful. Imagine feeling like you have a Charlie horse in your legs pretty much 24 hours a day. I have tried several medication’s. In fact, I have an internal pump that delivers medication directly to the point of my spine that controls my legs. This helps keep my legs limber it also relieves some of the Charlie horse feeling but not all of it. I have tried several muscle relaxers as well as massage therapy. The massage therapy works, but is ungodly expensive. But that’s just me that’s how my CP is an. I’ve been dealing with it for 45 years.
Your all saying, isn’t there something they can do no, not really. I mean they good dope me up so much that I can’t function.
In high school towards, the end of high school, I like a lot of teenagers was introduced to cannabis. The one thing that I discovered other than it gets you high was that it blocked the Charlie horse pain receptors enough so I would not think about it. That for somebody who is in pain 24 hours a day was amazing. This was back in the day when you couldn’t even talk about “drugs “.
Now I grew up in a household with two amazingly open parents that would discuss things with us like we were adults. Not to mention they were both children of the 60s. Once I discovered that there was something that would help and once I was 18. I was very open about the fact, that cannabis took my pain away. I have two regimens that help I vaporize CBD oil on a daily basis, when I have breakthrough pain which happens, I will ingest cannabis and usually within 20 minutes. I am no longer in pain.
I am now living in a state which may be fucked up in its own right but at least they have put laws in place where you can get a medical exemption for cannabis.
Two months ago, I was approached by several people who I have known for a long time. I will not out these people. It was stated that cannabis was a gateway drug and my parents should have committed me to an inpatient drug rehab program. These people are educated. It is 2023 are we really still thinking like that?
