A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I think, pretty sure it was this year I really started smoking marijuana. I'm just a regular social marijuana smoker. I got my first hit Thanksgiving last year cuz I was going through hell with my now ex-boyfriend.

I've been doing a lot of research with different strand and different types. But here's the main question I have to ask.

My HIV specialist prescribes and certifies my use of cannabis. It helps me in so many ways. I don't need pain medication (oxycodone)
I am more favorable with using flower for smoking. Since I had stopped tobacco in July of 2020, the cannabis is more effective for its intended use.
Sativa will spark my energy and keep me awake and full of ideas. Indica tends to make me relax, relieves pain, and helps me to drift off to sleep.
Since I work overnight and sleep during the day, the Indica is my choice.
