Cannabis For Endometriosis

Abby suffers from a condition called endometriosis and is a medical cannabis user. She campaigns with the United Patients Alliance for legalisation of medical cannabis. Abby feels passionately about being able to use cannabis over other prescribed drugs. She takes cannabis to deal with symptoms aggravating her condition.

Breaking the Law

Abby describes how taking cannabis helps her live a normal life. She isn’t afraid of being prosecuted. She mentions that not being able to take cannabis would jeopardise her life as she’d be unable to carry out her daily routine in a normal manner.

Abby’s Cannabis Strains

Accessing cannabis for patients isn’t easy. Since the market for cannabis is unregulated, some patients have to resort to street dealers, which is tricky for first-time buyers. Fortunately for Abby, her cannabis source is organic. She has knowledge about her cannabis strains and knows what she is buying.

Recreational Vs. Medical Cannabis

Abby compares cannabis to prescription drugs like Naproxen and Dihydrocodeine that have more severe side effects in her opinion. She prefers to use cannabis, but feels frustrated being unable to access the drug more openly. Though she was a recreational user in her teens, cannabis became her medicine when she was diagnosed with endometriosis.
