“I had to quit my job at Southwestern Oregon Community college because my back pain was so bad. I wanted to give up but my friends encouraged me to keep looking for solutions until something works. I always felt weird about the medical marijuana movement but after my friend recommended it, I thought it was worth a shot. I started using it illegally but once I knew it was going to be a viable option, I knew I had to get legal. I kept all of my medical records so getting my card was very easy. If you think medical marijuana might be right for you, don’t hesitate, get your card.”
