My story:

I first started using cannabis regularly when I was 14 years old. (I had tried it just once before that) After the trauma I went through this was my outlet.

My entire world came crashing down that year when I got pregnant. I had no clue what I was in for. I wasn’t pregnant for long before the doctor told me that my cervix was not matured enough to hold the baby. I would bleed for anything so I was put on bed rest. I was 26 weeks when I had to be rushed into an emergency C-section. When I came to, they told me she was stillborn. I never in my short life felt or knew such pain.

That was my first taste of depression.

Since then I have battled with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I wasn’t officially diagnosed until my early 20s though. From that point on it was a pill for this, a pill for that until it no longer had the same sought after affect. In fact, they now had the adverse effect on me and my panic attacks became worse.

I was hospitalized several times between 2017 and 2019 with blood pressure at the stroke level. Another pill.

A little over a year ago I decided something had to give or I’d end up in a grave. I ended up leaving my toxic job n then the pandemic hit. What was I going to do? How would I make it. Well I went back to college and ended up getting my associate degree. I didn’t have many classes to go so I put all my energy into that. It was still a challenge but I did it.

I have not taken any pills in all that time. I was finally able to obtain my Medical Marijuana card also and my quality of life has improved significantly.

I still have my moments when I get caught up in the moments of it all and the anxiety sets in but nowhere near as bad as it used to be. My blood pressure has been normal and I have not had a migraine attack since.

I am here to change the stigma on moms who use cannabis. My kids are my world and extremely smart. I am open and honest with them about my cannabis use. They know and see how it has helped. Now to educate the rest of the world. Take the ride with me.
