Cannabis has allowed me to stop anti-seizure medication and the intolerable side effects. It's become my passion because it's had such a personal impact on my life and my vision for my future life.
Imagine dealing with a progressive neurological movement disorder and finding hope in an unexpected place. That’s exactly what happened to Nurse Susan Marks. In this episode of 'Unpause Your Life', she opens up about her transformative experience with medical cannabis. Nurse Susan, a highly qualified healthcare professional, shares how she replaced her anti-seizure medication with a cannabis-based treatment, alleviating her symptoms and avoiding the intolerable side effects of traditional meds.
The episode dives into the history of cannabis prohibition, shedding light on the political and financial forces that led to its Schedule I narcotic classification. Nurse Susan challenges this label by explaining why cannabis doesn’t meet the criteria of being addictive, unsafe, or lacking medical benefits. She breaks down the differences between THC and CBD, simplifying their effects: CBD works from the neck down, while THC works from the neck up.
For those curious about incorporating medical cannabis into their health regimen, Nurse Susan offers practical advice on product selection and emphasizes the importance of lab results to avoid contamination risks. Beyond cannabis, she touches on alternative pain management methods like meditation and retreats. This episode is packed with insights and personal anecdotes, making it a must-listen for anyone exploring alternative therapies for chronic conditions.
