I am a Gold Card TPI (Totally and Permanently Incapacitated). One of my accepted conditions is PTSD. For over 20 years I was treated with pharmaceuticals, which changed me from the person I was to someone else. I got a referral to the Cannabis Access Clinic about seven months ago. Once I started to use CBD oil my life changed for the better. I am able to sleep at night without recurring nightmares, my mood is more relaxed and it helps in so many ways. Medicinal cannabis is a miracle drug/substance which has given me my life back. Instead of sitting at home and just waiting to die without any motivation, I can now plan and enjoy my days.
