Does anyone know a reputable MD who prescribes medical marijuana in MD or DC? I have cancer and am interested in pain control and elevating my mood. I have no idea where to start. I don't drink and have never used marihuana before.

I would love to develop a marijuana habit now that I'm approaching 50. But I fear it would go with grey hair and large swinging boobs, clogs and too many pets in the house.

Also I saw a graph once which outlined the effects on the brain of caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and marijuana. If you imagine the brain as a whole pizza, a brain on pot is missing an entire 1/4. Its a lot scarier than the other options which are just generally slightly scrambled.

I'm 50 and have never tried it. A friend offered me some but I don't know if I want to go down that rabbit hole. Late '80s in Finance working in DC my contemporaries and I were into cocaine, which I'm sure is so much worse, but we were not into pot.

Are you thinking of inhaling essential oils?

Anyone else finding similar experiences?

Originally intimidated by 39 different strains of sativa to indico and 6 different ways to consume, but now I'm looking at concentrates. As a kid, it was a joint, Scooby Doo, Allman Bros and Domino's for 4 hours. Today's version allows me to focus more as last week completed a business plan with a really high concentration and creativity level.

Am I putting too much stock in it?

Anyone else seeing similar results?

My DH is 50 and is smoking for anxiety relief, and to help him focus for work. We live in California.

Lordy Yes!! Rediscovered true deep sleep. Smoke sometimes but also use tinctures. Any particular strains that help with productivity and crearivity?

Yes. I have a friend who quit Ambien and vapes every night before bed and has been totally successful. Now I'm trying it. We aren't in a state where it's legal but

If it becomes legal where I live, I'll definitely try it for medical use. My aches and pains have aches and pains at this point.

OP: No man boobs as I'm on TRT. Disposable pens = no smell on clothing. Great at concerts, too. Thinking of trying a pen with THC and essential oils mixed to see if gives a "bliss" feeling as the packaging claims. More to follow

This a part of my retirement plan, and so much as changed, I would love to see more on this subject, as I have not done anything with weed since the 90s.

Enjoy your man boobs.

I just got my card and have really been enjoying it. I’ve even stopped drinking completely.

*mid, short, etc. Not high right now, just didn't proofread!

Nope, you are not alone. I love weed / what it does for me (I feel very motivated, focused and creatively driven). I think it helps my mind slow down and focus and really immerse myself in the task at hand. I've gone through phases - I smoked multiple times a week when I was in law school, didn't smoke much throughout my kid-20s, 'rediscovered' it and smoked a few times a month around 30, when I was in the midst of making some career changes...and obviously I don't credit weed with my success, but I truly did use it as a tool/enhancement in a real period of personal hustling, with real success. I haven't touched it / half-forget it exists for 9 years or so because I've been pregnant / raising little kids, but I have no doubt that my use will pick back up again some day (and then drop off again, etc). I really do find that I go through phases with it, and I don't think that's uncommon. Long story sort, enjoy it! As long as you're not smoking daily or using it as a way to escape reality / your life, it can be a great tool. You are not the only person who feels that, used appropriately, it can be a real enhancer of sorts (as opposed to the stereotypical stoner melting into the couch image).
