When I first considered cannabis as an choice to treat our migraines, I assumed that I’d need to smoke it.
I was sure that I’d have few options plus experience psychoactive effects. I wasn’t sure I wanted to try cannabis, but I was unhappy with all the side-effects of prescription medicines. The pharmaceuticals I was taking were causing myself and others all sorts of other complications, plus I was upset about the long-term effects. I wanted something more natural. I’ve dealt with migraines since going through puberty, plus they frequently plus severity has worsened as I’ve gotten older. I was missing too much work. There were nights when I couldn’t get out of bed or tolerate any light or loud noises. I sometimes vomited due to the pain plus nausea. I was ready to try just about anything… My initial trip to the dispensary in Denver was eye-opening. I wasn’t prepared for such a modern, bright plus inviting facility. I was totally surprised by the wide array of products available. I was instantaneously greeted by a budtender who asked a lot of questions plus listened closely to our concerns, concerns plus preferences… She was super knowledgeable, patient plus helpful. She explained that CBD isolate provides the curative benefits of cannabis plus eliminates all traces of THC, broad-spectrum CBD options contain only trace amounts of CBD. SInce THC is the cannabinoid responsible for the psychoactive effects, these products don’t produce a high. CBD has been shown to alleviate pain plus inflammation. I was able to purchase a CBD tincture. I arena a few drops under our tongue as soon as I detect the beginnings of a migraine. The sublingual absorption provides fast-acting effects. I’ve also invested in CBD gummies, then while the effects take a while to set in, they are longer lasting.
