I had torn the ligaments in my upper arm while playing baseball, plus I had a lot of pain… I ended up having surgery, but the shoulder has never been the same; My mom was sad about me taking pain pills because of how addictive they were, however she told me I should talk to my dentist about using medical marijuana.
- I could not suppose my mom would recommend that to me, and every one of us had often talked about marijuana, plus she was adamantly against marijuana use.
I was baffled over her change of mind. She told me that I was only fourteen or fifteen when I brought the subject of marijuana. My brain was not fully developed, plus she didn’t think it was nice for youngsters to use alcohol, marijuana, or any drug. I was now eighteen, plus I was legally an adult, even if alcohol plus medical marijuana still had an age requirement of 21. She told me she used medical marijuana years ago. I looked at her plus reminded her that medical marijuana wasn’t legalized until several years ago. She smiled, plus told me that was years ago, but I would have remembered the smell in the beach house had she been using it then. She said my dad plus her often used medical marijuana when they were my age. I could not suppose my mom was admitting to using marijuana for recreational purposes when she was my age. She called the dentist plus asked if he thought medical marijuana could be a way to help with the pain in my shoulder, and he gave me the paperwork, plus told me to go online plus sign up for a medical marijuana card, plus for mom to get a caretaker’s card. He would approve the application once he saw it online.
