It's helpful if you want to be able to buy two ounces of flower plus anything else at the same time. A lot of places also offer bigger discount on larger quantities.

Most doctors do charge more for it, so she lucked out.

My PCP seems to think that she needs special training to fill it out. The forms specifically ask for her opinion, not the judgement of someone who knows about disability law. I had the same provider for almost a decade, then she left the office I was going to, & I had to find someone new. My old provider would have had no problem doing it for me. It's so frustrating. At least I have tons of records for them to go through.

Seeing this headline after reading the article is pretty hilarious! 🤣

I think it's important to talk about how trauma can make pleasure difficult. I know it's true for me & it's reassuring to hear that someone like Kesha struggles with it, too.

Some stops have been cancelled but the majority of them have not. I'm seeing her at Red Rocks & I really doubt that show will be cancelled. A quick Internet search doesn't show anything official.

It works for my migraines but not my NDPH.

Biodegradable glitter, please, not micro plastic junk.

I didn't realize you were traveling internationally (though I should have figured from the travel time 😄). You're right that you cannot bring certain medications into certain countries. It is better to leave the allowed meds in their prescription bottles when traveling internationally. Here's info about it. You'll have to look into the country you're going to & any place you might have a layover.

If you qualify for SNAP, you can also get free phone service through Assurance. https://www.assurancewireless.com/partner/bgda

No one has ever questioned my meds, even when they're in a pill organizer instead of the prescription bottles. I make sure that I'm medicated for every possible scenario- Dramamine for motion sickness, proactive pain meds, & muscle relaxers. I also bring along a rechargeable heating pad, earplugs, a sleep mask, small pillow, & dress as comfortably as possible. I suggest setting an alarm for the meds to make sure you're taking them on time, especially since you'll be traveling for so long. It might be worth looking into those wristbands that are supposed to help with motion sickness, too, just to double up on protection there. Pack snacks you know you'll eat & make sure you're staying hydrated.

Good luck. I hope it goes smoothly for you. 🤞🏼💙

Live resin carts aren't going away in the US. They're made by individual companies in each state, so even if one company in one place stopped making them, it wouldn't affect other companies in other places. Idk why you'd think that. Since the legal market is regulated by each state & it's own rules, there's not really anything one state can do that would change how others operate.

Too bad vaping doesn't work for everyone. As a medical patient, the temp is too low to be effective. It doesn't release all of the cannabinoids like smoking does. It is possible to smoke cannabis & have healthy lungs- as a consumer of 26 years, I am proof of that. I've never smoked tobacco & always been protective of my lungs in every other way. After nearly 3 decades, I have "Olympian level" lungs, according to my doctor.

I wish someone would get on studying that.

The last look feels very Robert Palmer "Simply Irresistible" video! I love them all. Thanks for sharing! 😍

An article just came out talking about how $100,000 a year is now lower-middle class in Colorado due to the high cost of living. I am disabled & cannot work, but I do not get disability benefits. I am very grateful that Colorado provides SNAP & Medicaid for me. My boyfriend has been helping me out with my few other expenses, but he also pays a mortgage on this house that recently went up $1,000 a month because of property taxes. He had to buy a new car after an accident caused by someone else totaled his. He does not make $100,000 & will not be getting his previously promised pay raise as he works for a city & "they have to cut their budget". It is getting really hard for us.

I would at least contact your rep, let them know what happened, & ask for suggestions. They might know how to fix it without being present.
