Continuing Education

I can't believe I just spent over 6 hours, spread out these past three days reading about medical cannabis... cannabinoids to be more specific.

There's most certainly a stigma attached to this new alternative, still somewhat questionably legal therapy. I for one, didn't want much to do with the subject. In fact the only reason I elected this continuing education course was because it was part of the cheapest package.

So...

Irreguardless of the promise that cannabidiol (CBD) and the other cannabinoids, the stigma is going to continue to stand as a major roadblock for the acceptance of Hemp derived medical substances... especially since the preferred route for most users is inhalation; which of course is the most expeditious way benefit from the various beneficial affects. I sincerely doubt doctors are going to be rushing to jump on the bandwagon for this, mostly because they're going to feel repulsed by the idea of promoting a substance that has been illegal for such a long time, and still has some questionable status in most states, as well as still considered illegal by federal laws... to my understanding. I know I'd be pretty nervous about recommending it... only because of the legalities.

All that aside, there seems to be some promise in treating certain ailments which should not go ignored.

Soooo.... next I get to read about Chronic Pain management. Pain... I hate it while experiencing it... a perpetual squirm that's difficult to escape from. However, for as long as patience allows I try to remind myself, during times of pain, that it's a reminder that I'm still alive and I should cherish every moment for as long as I have it. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for those who suffer from pain day in and out with no relief in sight.
