Let's circle back to Episode 32.
Have you listened?
On that episode, the panel of spoons reconvened from across America to discuss all things prescription medication and marijuana. We talked about scheduling training sessions, symptom management, stigma, shitty doctors, our stupid healthcare system, and more.
Here are a few gems!
GIF shows drag queen, Alaska Thunderf*ck, pouring pink and white pills from an orange bottle into her mouth.
Fuck a stigma, buy that pill organizer. Save a few daily spoons and 'meal prep' those pills folks!
GIF shows Wiz Khalifa alternately smoking two blunts.
You don't have to get high with your friends, or feel pressured to keep up! Marijuana use is medicinal, take your meds as you see fit. Forget the movies, live your life the way it makes sense FOR YOU.
GIF shows Seth Meyers on “Late Night” making two comparisons with his hands, one arm lifted higher than the other.
COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY. You might find yourself in a room of similar diagnoses with the longest list of meds. Or you might be the only one in the room not taking any meds. Every body is different. Ask questions, sure. But don't give any fucks, focus on you.
GIF shows Kaa the snake (Jungle Book) with colorful hypnotizing eyes saying, “Capitalism.”
Yes, the cannabis industry is kinda bullshit. Buying beautifully packaged edibles at a premium while BIPOC are in prison for possession charges does not feel good. It definitely makes us feel some type of way. It's okay to acknowledge that nuance.
