Nikki Lawley - Cannabis is My Medicine

While working as a pediatric nurse in October 2016, I suffered both a traumatic brain (TBI) and whiplash injury to my neck. Due to this, I have been unable to work as a nurse ever since. My injury also comes with some debilitating symptoms, which include cognitive issues, chronic headaches, and severe neck pain. Cannabis helps alleviate my pain, bringing it from a 7/10 daily pain and down to a more tolerable 2 and 3. Other symptoms of my injury include impacted balance/coordination, visual impairment, and depression/anxiety.
I live in Buffalo, NY and I actually travel to Canada every few weeks in order to access legal Canadian cannabis and medicate; it is my medical hiatus if you will. As I have a Canadian prescription for cannabis, I travel to Ontario where I have an address. While I do have a prescription in the state of NY and CA, the quality of Canadian cannabis is unmatched, especially the strains available to me through my Licensed producer.
It aids with all my symptoms above and has truly given me a quality of life back. While I have been prescribed numerous,
pharmaceutical drugs to treat my injury, most have had severely negative and damaging effects on me physically and emotionally, while cannabis helped me come of off these horrible medications.

I had been a recreational consumer prior to my injury, but it is only since beginning to learn about cannabinoids and terpenes have I really been able to maximize and harness the benefits of my cannabis intake.
