Marty has been on the fair to good part of the wellness spectrum during the past week. He rarely has much appetite and deals with cramping and nausea, but not to a debilitating degree. Thus, a small but welcome reprieve!
The two of us went to the dispensary for medically prescribed marijuana today. To say that the dispensary is well hidden in a very non-descript location puts it mildly. Anyway, we found our way there, pretty much by happy accident, and we were buzzed in after displaying ID cards at the door camera.
Once inside, we found ourselves in a friendly, light-filled cheery environment. The staff were wonderfully helpful in making suggestions for products that would potentially address Marty's nausea and lack of appetite. Marty expressed a strong preference not to inhale smoke. We were then urged to consider a vaporizer (not available at this location, though they did have some huge bongs) for future consideration. Apparently, this is the most effective means for marijuana to be useful for someone in Marty's condition. Since we don't have a vaporizer (yet), we were sent home with: 2 baked confections (to be split into quarters), two lollipops, and a honey based tincture. Since Marty had some intestinal discomfort while we were in the dispensary, he tried a dose of the tincture right there and then. Within several minutes, his intestinal rumbles calmed a bit. Hurray!
Of course, we will keep close track of what works and what doesn't and how much and when etc. The tincture doesn't make him stoned, by the way, so he can still work, drive, converse and make decisions. The baked goods are recommended for evening use to encourage sleep without nausea or cramping.
And so with cautiously hopeful attitudes, we carry on!
