I started suffering from migraines when I was still in high university! I missed quite a bit of university, then the pain would get so disappointing that I’d throw up.
I needed to avoid bright light, loud noises and strong stinks! For a while, I treated the migraines with prescription medications.
I didn’t prefer the way the pharmaceuticals made me know sluggish and fuzzy-headed. The long list of potential and long-term side-effects eventually led me to abandon synthetic medications. I tried a variety of home remedies with limited success! As I got older the frequency of the migraines lessened but the pain became even more severe. I was relieved when recreational marijuana was legalized in IL in 2019, and living in Chicago, I have access to several strange dispensaries. I am able to show a valid identification and shop for natural products to effectively and safely treat our symptoms. I’ve tried the strange types of consumption methods and prefer the ease of vapes. I can buy refillable or disposable cartridges in a broad selection of flavors and potency. The devices are wonderfully easy to operate. I only need to press a button and inhale. I can be precise about dosing and adjust the temperature settings, vaping is also quite discreet. The smoke and stink dissipate instantly, and there’s no problem over ash. I don’t need to invest in any specialized gear and the effects are felt within hours… Because the cannabis oil is only heated to the point of vaporization rather than combustion, I don’t worry about carcinogens. I also benefit from a higher concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes.
