I'm a lady of class and fun! OK, well sort of. I am a 58 yr old married grandma who is also a retired military veteran (as is my husband of 38 yrs). During my late 30's/mid 40's I was hit with a variety of illnesses at once. Ovarian cancer, then two autoimmune diseases as well - I have had over 33 surgeries and currently have epilepsy/PTSD/Seizure disorder as well as being on the Autism Spectrum disorder (my 35 yr old son was diagnosed autistic/Aspergers during his school time..I come from the silent generation of Autistic/Asperger people).
About 10 years ago was when my life really changed. I had first started using CBD to help manage my seizures/pain and PTSD (I was on 15 different physician prescribed medications a day- The side effects were as horrible as the diseases and pain they didn't help!) I got my MMJ card and wow..... The plant LITERALLY transformed my life. I love growing it, and experimenting with it. I love the healing serenity of working on my garden and plants and BEST of all...I love growing my own medicine and recreational fun! After I got the blessings of most of my doc's (My neurologist was astounded by the fact that I was able to reduce 3 of my seizure meds because of using cannabis. Also, as someone who is on the Autism/Aspergers Spectrum- Many medications don't always work the same on (us) as other folks. My son (age 35 and also autistic) was battling stress and depression. He too, turned first to CBD and then to 1:1 type dosages.
We grow in a legal state, in our home in private. And while I occasionally may post a few photos if I have afew questions, like many hear I prefer to remain quiet about my indoor grows. The plants really ARE my mine and my sons life line. We turn all our flower into edibles and tinctures as well as canna-caps. I am now down to only 5 different medications a day now and am no longer in a wheelchair either- So I really love cannabis! Growing it, is a lovely obsession and I drool over all the photos and REJOICE at seeing other growers "real life un-retouched photos" and saying..."Hey- I am not a half bad grower and there are some really neat folks here~!" So I will pop up on occasion to always support my fellow brother and sister grower out there. Here is my service dog "Imo" (short for Imhotep) saying "Hey ya! Whatcha doin?"
Warmly,
Jackie
