This is something that is near & dear to my heart. I’ve lost family members & friends far too early.
During the heart of the pandemic and the fallout that occurred afterwards, I too struggled with my own alcohol consumption at times.
Thankfully, I never hit a true rock bottom. I had a wonderful girlfriend/fiancee (whom I know call my wife). And I was able to reconnect with cannabis in a very meaningful way…growing it myself.
After being raided over approximately 1oz of flower in 2012, I never thought I’d make a living working in cannabis. It’s now been almost a decade. When I finish a long day of work, caring for my plants is among my top priorities.
I still enjoy my bourbon or a glass of wine but I love hearing similar stories like mine paired with seeing statistics like these. It’s a magical plant and nobody should be denied access.
Nick, thank you so much for your comment. I remember at the height of the pandemic I was drinking more and just being excessive with everything, coffee, sweets, etc.. at a certain point I realized I didn’t want to continue like that so I gave a go of stopping alcohol and caffeine (and sugar to some extent). I’ve stuck with it. I’ll have a glass of something to celebrate special occasions, but that’s it for alcohol. I feel so much better.
Don’t get me wrong - I will still have A GLASS of bourbon or wine from time to time. However, the days of splurging are done. After making the conscious decision to cut back, I too feel so much better and have had a remarkable improvement in my sleep, energy levels & mood.
I believe many people are using alcohol to treat medical issues, whether that’s depression, anxiety, pain, sleeplessness. And for all of these, cannabis is such a better option.
