For Josie, daily
cannabis consists of a
strong indica strain
that reduces her pain
and increases her
appetite. She finds that
her daily cannabis
use also reduces her
anxiety.
Tasha is yet another
woman I spoke to who
also consumes
marijuana regularly to
reduce anxiety by
either smoking, vaping
or ingesting—but
almost always at night.
She finds it greatly reduces her anxiety, and she’s also
experienced other benefits. "I was
diagnosed with endometriosis almost
20 years ago and a result of that is inflammation flare-ups that my own body is creating," Tasha explains. "I also had sinus surgery that involved all of my face a few years ago as a result of polyps. After extensive allergy testing, no one could give me an answer as to why polyps were developing other than inflammation my body was generating. They gave me a 60% chance the polyps would grow back after the surgery."
Tasha was excited about the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis. Her sinus check-up last year showed no signs of the polyps returning. She is also starting to experiment with adding cannabis strains high in CBD to aid in recovery when weightlifting three times a week.
