Medical Marijuana

I am the sole caregiver for my wife. Entering stage 7.
RSO, gummies, or even flower.
Will be helpful for anxiety of the patient and stress for the caregiver.
I my case, the use of medical marijuana has added a dimension; a depth within myself and a enhanced relationship and empathy with my wife.
Don't know how my wife or I would have made it thus far without it.

I am in favor of anything that works! Did your doctor prescribe it? I ask because you use the term "medical marijuana". My DH used to smoke weed when he was in college, and often told me that if he got old and senile I should get it for him! He is in a MC facility, so I can't do that, but he probably would be less anxious if I could. I bought myself some THC gummies and they help me with the long, lonely evenings I have sometimes. Good for you!!!

It is unfortunate that due to the federal legalities surf marijuana that no real studies have been done in the US to determine it’s medical efficacy.

Dignitas….. I very much agree. I don’t think I could make it without my gummies. Unfortunately I live in an illegal state that doesn’t offer medical gummies. I drive to MI every few months. Anti depressants don’t agree with me but the gummies are a true lifesaver. I haven’t given them to my HWD but I sure would like to. I think they would really help his nasty disposition due to dementia. I really think they could chill him out and help with apathy as well. I haven’t gone down that road yet tho. I too am a sole caregiver in about stage 5. It’s so so difficult and any help even illegal gummies make this path a tiny bit easier when you’re alone💙
