Patient Stories

I was raised in a “cannabis positive” household as a child. I dabbled as a teenager and in my 20’s. However, as an asthmatic I distanced myself from regular use to preserve my lungs. I had a deep respect for the plant and was aware of how it could take you to amazingly creative spaces or the polar opposite.

Growing up in Gippsland throughout the 90’s, you can imagine what kind of reputation ‘weed’ had. ‘A gateway drug for troubled youths to become even more troubled’ and in all honesty being the type of person that always raged against the machine, that was probably the appeal when I had my first medicinal cannabis experience.
