I was lucky that given the severity of my fibromyalgia, and having been diagnosed by one of the leading rheumatologists in BC, and having had the benefit of a very good family Dr. and specialists, that getting an official form from my family Dr. for the compassion society was a simple form fee away.
It’s strange though. I’ve never used marijuana recreationally. Not a once… it’s weird to be 39 years old and taking pot for the first time, granted I’m not smoking it, but eating it in baked goods and tinctures… but still kind of odd. I just don’t like to feel ‘altered’… I like a clear head. It’s actually a lot like the synthetic pure cannabinoid prescription they put me on. I haven’t been using very much of it, just a cautious add on to my other prescribed mediation, but I’ve been impressed with how little side effects and how mild a medication it is. It doesn’t make me feel altered in any way really, except for relaxing my body and easing some of the pain.
