If you have ever thought medical cannabis was used to treat only severe medical conditions, you’ve guessed it all wrong. The cannabis plant has more than 400 known compounds like THC and CBD, of which you are most likely already familiar. These two substances responsible for a ton of benefits: increasing focus and energy, reducing anxiety, elevating emotions, etc. As a whole, we all know that weed can help make your daily life simply better.
The effects of medical cannabis can be seen in the lives of many patients, including one business owner, Arav, who runs Masala Story, a restaurant located in Brookland area of Washington DC. The daily life of a restaurant owner can be stressful, and if you’ve ever worked in the industry, you have probably known a chef or two that likes to smoke. Medical marijuana helps Arav in many ways, such as getting a better night of sleep, increased appetite, and the focus that he needs on his duties at the restaurant.
Arav was using a combination of sativa strains with higher CBD concentrations to help him at his work. While he was waiting for the day of his surgery, after an encounter with a pesky hernia, he was working for extended periods of time without the ability to sit down for a while and rest. He says that this combination of Sativa and CBD “helps me relax so that I can stand on my feet, and work for a little bit longer…. Which I need to do for my family.”
For almost two years, Arav has been a patient at Herbal Alternatives dispensary and said he has learned a lot about different types of medical cannabis from them. With no complaints about Herbal Alternatives, he said, “the people over here they are so friendly, it is the best dispensary.”
Herbal Alternatives has been helping many DC patients for years, and Arav is one of the dispensary’s most thankful patients who were able to improve daily life by taking medical cannabis.
