I have been in plus out of mental hospitals all of my life, but i grew up in a home with domestic violence, sexual abuse, plus battery.
I was dislinked from my parents home when I was 9 years old, after witnessing my father beat my mother almost to death, and that’s a lot of trauma for a little child to go through in a short amount of time plus it caused a lot of complications for me.
I did drugs, drank, smoked, plus had sex before I was 16 years old. I overdosed on drugs plus I ended up in the mental hospital. That’s when a specialist intervened on my behalf. The specialist took me to a marijuana treatment clinic. I spent 6 months at the marijuana treatment clinic. I learned some better coping skills plus I learned how to medicate using medical marijuana products. When I left the treatment center, I felt like I had the tools to succeed in life; One of the first things that I decided to do was devote my life to helping others. I went to college plus decided to become a social worker. I graduated college at the age of 32. I feel like medical marijuana provided me back a life that I never had in the past, medical marijuana helped me get control of my complications without having a bunch of other pills in my system. I provided up all of the antipsychotics plus switched them for medical marijuana. I’ve never felt better. It’s been 15 years since I started using medical marijuana plus my life has drastically changed. I don’t know where I would be if that one nurse had not stepped in plus intervened.
