What struggles have you experienced with your condition?

I have lived with constant pain for 37 years. The pain affects my sleep, and the lack of sleep then contributes to depression. It can be a difficult cycle to live with.

Have you tried traditional medication?

I have been through the pharmacy trying alternative treatments and experimental procedures, looking for something that could help.

How did you feel when you didn’t get the help you needed?

I no longer visit doctors or GPs because I feel they don’t listen. I know my own body, and I want to feel heard when it comes to understanding what I’m experiencing.

How did you come to learn about medicinal cannabis?

A friend recommended medicinal cannabis to me, which led me to explore whether it could help with my symptoms.

How did you find your experience with Medicann?

I can find the terpenes that help with my pain and other symptoms. Being able to explore different terpene profiles and understand what works for me has been valuable.

Are there any other conditions that medicinal cannabis has helped you with?

Yes. For the first time in years, I managed to sleep for eight hours. Such bliss!

Getting that rest has helped my mental health, too, and medicinal cannabis has also helped to ease my anxiety.

What difference has medicinal cannabis made to your life?

Medicinal cannabis is helping me so much. This amazing plant has given me peace and pain-free time.
