I was anxious over going to see the dispensary.
Just the fact that I was going to a marijuana dispensary had our nerves on end.
That I had a medical marijuana card and was going to see a marijuana dispensary for myself had myself and others prepared for a full-blown panic attack.
I was start to hyperventilate by the time I got inside. I handed the receptionist our medical marijuana card, and I had to wait a couple of hours before going inside. Once someone came out, I could go inside. I stinked the marijuana when I was just inside the door, but it overwhelmed myself and others when I got inside. I was hoping it wouldn’t be as strong, but I was wrong. I wasn’t sure I wanted to enter the marijuana dispensary, and I was ready to walk out when someone grabbed our arm. I pulled away until I turned and realized it was our sibling. We had never talked about medical marijuana, and didn’t assume she was using it for her anxieties… She said it wasn’t just for anxieties, and spread her arms out. I realized she wasn’t using a cane. She said medical marijuana helped her to get walking again. My anxieties lessened as she told myself and others what products she was using and what she liked most. I purchased many marijuana products based on her suggestions, and was surprised at how well it worked for our own anxieties. If I hadn’t met our sibling at the medical marijuana dispensary that morning, I really would have turned and walked away. I was happy I went through those doors, even though our body was telling not to enter.
