I feel like the government is ruining cannabis. Every time I ask for flower w/ CBD, budtenders look at me like I have 10 eyes. Why are they breeding the CBD out of the flower? I’m new to cannabis, not hardcore. Flower & topicals is all I (want to) use. I need something good for inflammation, as I have a couple of autoimmune disorders that cause major inflammation & make it hard to get up & walk. OTC & pain meds just constipate 💩 Should I just start buying from a dude named Jerry in a parking lot? Or am I shopping at all the wrong dispensaries?

-shopping between Pensacola & Okaloosa.

It’s been extremely hard to get anyone to listen to me & not blame everything on my T1 diabetes. I had all of this going on b4 I was even diagnosed w/ diabetes. I’ve lost 2 pregnancies & I think it was due to something involving this. I’ve had multiple primary care doctors tell me they think it’s sjogren’s. Then they send me to a rheumatologist who runs 1 routine set of labs & denies it. I FINALLY found a rheumatologist who is taking me seriously & he put me on Hydroxychloroquine while he waits on further testing. This is a huge deal for me. Somebody finally believes me & sees how badly I’m suffering & they took action! I woke up today for the 1st time in years with saliva in my mouth & I cried! I’m only 34yo, but I have the body of an 80yo woman. Did anyone else become obese during their struggle to get help for this condition?? Because I’m retaining so much water & in so much pain that mobility is so hard for me. Doctors keep telling me to exercise more like I’m not in constant debilitating pain. It’s hard enough to do daily chores & take care of myself. Cannabis has helped some & I’m managing, but I’m in really bad shape. Did meds help u manage enough to lose weight? Honestly, I’m open to any tips or recommendations that will help. I just wanna be a normal 34yo. I have 1 miracle kiddo & I wanna be able to keep up w/ him.
