I have never used marijuana. I suffer from migraines, chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. Who knows which one triggers which. My husband feels I would benefit from medicinal marijuana.

I truly feel that you try a bit at a time…make sure to use an indica product (smoke or gummy) as it’s a relaxing buzz. I strongly suggest to start slow and go with it. I enjoy smoking it as it’s a quick way to get you relaxed. The more you do the more you are going to fall asleep. As for gummy it take approximately 30-45 minutes, So it’s not that bad ..but it takes time.
It helps me with my anxiety, ptsd and depression.

I think you should go with your gut feeling, not the opinion of others, even if it is your husband. I haven't met anyone in support groups that use marijuana Everyone's body chemistry is different and you don't know the effects..I would have a serious conversation with your dr. and see what his/her patients' experience has been. Don't let someone (even your husband) push you into something you are not comfortable with.
