On a highway in Philly, in a moment of desperation, Dylan Rogers reached for a joint. He was leaving the hospital after yet another failed attempt to just stop the pain and needed relief.<\/p>\n

After steroids failed and pharmaceuticals made him a zombie, this surgery was a Hail Mary, a small glimmer of hope in a reality consisting of shocks of pain, of wincing when the air conditioner kicks on because the accompanying breeze feels like sharp pain with a dull object. Of getting suspicious glances because the people around him don\u2019t know that the hood he\u2019s wearing isn\u2019t threatening but the only thing keeping him standing. That without it, the heat and light from the sun would cause all-encompassing agony.<\/p>\n

So, in a moment of frustration and blinding pain, Rogers reached for something that, up to this point, was a substance he only used recreationally. From his first hit, however, Rogers felt relief that he hadn\u2019t felt for years \u2013 all thanks to medical cannabis.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedical marijuana has been the only medicine that has worked and helped and allowed me to work and have a life,\u201d Rogers noted.<\/p>\n

How Medical Cannabis Helped Dylan Rogers Get His Life Back<\/h2>\n

Now a registered medical marijuana patient through Veriheal, he has developed a rigorous cannabis routine tailored to provide consistent effects all day long.<\/p>\n

Until a recent change in treatment allowed him to lower the amount of cannabis he uses, Rogers would start each morning with a fast-acting topical cocoa butter and his first round of edibles, with hourly reminders on his watch to take another dose. He\u2019d smoke joints as needed throughout the day for immediate relief and end the night with a spoonful of high-potency THC honey.<\/p>\n

Consuming over two ounces of cannabis per week and over 500mg of edibles daily changed his life \u2013 not only relieving more pain than traditional pharmaceuticals ever could, but also impacting every aspect of it, from his career to his hobbies.
\nWhen medical cannabis use allowed him to return to work, his employers supported him to do what he needed to do. And using cannabis on the clock has allowed Rogers to change the perception of \u201cstoners,\u201d one customer at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople would always be shocked that you can be intelligent and know what you\u2019re doing and keep a project going properly even while using cannabis,\u201d said Rogers. \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to tell people – Guess what? I\u2019ve been \u2018stoned\u2019 this whole time. I\u2019m not doing it to party while I\u2019m at work. I\u2019m doing this so I can work, so I can function, so I can talk, so I can be outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unshackled from debilitating pain for the first time in five years, Rogers also had to \u201crecreate his pastimes.\u201d Activities he once enjoyed were no longer an option due to his condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up on a sailboat. Now, I haven\u2019t been on a sailboat in five years,\u201d Rogers shared. \u201cPainting is a huge escape. It helps me to bring out the full emotion of the pain [my condition] causes, enveloping the body and the soul \u2013 and reaching toward the one thing that truly helps: cannabis, the freedom, the escape.\u201d<\/p>\n
