Hi, my gardening friends! My name is Misty and I’m the Crazy Canna Cat Lady to 12 kitties and 2 pups. At the tender age of 11, I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm right in front of my eyes. To say it was traumatic is putting it lightly. I had to leave my childhood home that I knew and loved and move in with my dad and stepmom. My life was turned upside down. My life of fighting depression and anxiety had just begun.
I was forced to attend therapy and counseling for years, only to not find any help and be put on medication after medication by each different doctor. I was in my twenties and on a slew of medicines that could fill up a gallon-sized Ziplock baggie. I felt out of it and not myself for a while… like years. I still had roller-coaster emotions that I didn’t understand or know how to heal. I was having major highs and lows, and I didn’t know how to control it.
I moved out of my dad’s house when I was 16 years old, and I took my first hit of cannabis a year later with my boyfriend just for fun. I started seeing that the high took away my depressive thoughts and anxious feelings. I wanted more of that feeling. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety at age 18 and was put on anti-depressants to dull the pain. All it did was make me feel like a crying mess of emotions, and I hated that feeling.
On my way to college one morning, I was rear-ended. I saw a pain management doctor and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Again, more pills to take. And this time, pain pills were introduced, but I did not want to be on pain medication forever. I again turned to cannabis for pain management. Over the years, I’ve been diagnosed with more illnesses than I care to admit for my age, and I’ve always found cannabis to help the most.
So, my cannabis journey began. I started smoking by myself every day after work for that relief. I’ve always been a flower-smoking girlie since I started smoking. It wasn’t until June 2024 that a cruise was gifted to my husband and me, so we had to go. It was a cruise to Alaska. I knew I would be flying and crossing borders and going through security checks and TSA at the airport. That meant I couldn’t bring my pipe and flower with me. I had to find an alternative.
The first alternative I could think of was a vape. No one would know it was cannabis oil and not tobacco. I had my Smoke Buddy with me, so I smoked my vape in the bathroom and blew my smoke into my Smoke Buddy to cover the smell. While we were docked in Alaska, I took a hike to a local dispensary to get more vape oil and a few edibles. Let me just say… Alaskan Cannabis… mmm, mmm, mmm! It’s phenomenal!
When we returned home, I was intrigued by the edible I had tried in Alaska. I visited our local vape shop and bought a few to try. I fell in love. The fact that I could give my lungs a break and it would be so discreet to eat my edible, and go about my day. I was hooked. I was curious to find more products to try.
I stumbled across a gardening mom on social media who was promoting a few different edible companies. I ordered from her links and was shocked and immediately addicted when I received my edibles to try. I’ve tried everything from chocolates, rice crispy treats, gummies, beverages, and more. I’m still new to experimenting with various THC and CBD products, but I’ve quickly learned that not every cannabis product on the market is created equally.
You’ll start to learn your tolerance levels and the way your body breaks things down. You’ll learn about the various types of CBD products and their qualities. For example, CBN is good for sleep, while CBG is for a good mood. There are strains of cannabis that give you energy and some relax you.
Indulging in cannabis can be exciting, but we’re women and adults. We have an endless to-do list that needs to be done daily. Every woman deserves to have all the information and resources available so they can make informed decisions, which is why we’ve created High Vibes Healthy Lives.
