I'm truly sorry this happened to you. I'll admit that I'm not as "plugged in" to what pop culture is pushing these days, so can't speak to that, but my own experience with cannabis puts it in a different light for me (which, given your experience, I bet you're not that eager to hear, but maybe others might be). For me, cannabis fits between opioids and over the counter pain killers - neither of which I can take for pain that I get from nerve damage from a pretty severe injury from a few years ago. Cannabis is very effective at taking the edge off that pain so I can sleep. It doesn't make it go away, it just makes it less intense. Cannabis is by no means benign - anything that can do what it does to my pain isn't "safe". I treat it with the same respect and responsibility I would with other medications. It's not perfect, and has its own risks, but in my case, it's beneficial. Again, I really am sorry for you. Not so much because you can't enjoy cannabis, but because of what you have to deal with now.
