Chris Holifield’s- other podcast, I am Salt Lake or IAmSaltLake.com Porter is a young professional who deals with depression and other mental health issues. [03:42] Her introduction to marijuana was via recreational use in California and Spain. She used the drug to self-medicate before she even realized that’s what she was doing. When the opportunity for Prop 2 in Utah came along, Porter advocated for it. [15:26] During the discussion, the three talked about a range of topics, including how THC and CBD Medical Cannabis products help Porter deal with her mental health issues. [12:29] Porter spoke of a support system that includes her parents, friends, and coworkers. She also talked about how the Medical Cannabis community being so open about what they do is finally beginning to destigmatize the drug. Like so many other patients, Porter is still figuring out what works best for her. She has a daily routine that she tracks with a journal. [18:39] As she learns more, she is adjusting her routine accordingly. However, cost is an issue. Bringing that up got Tim and Chris talking about how Medical Marijuana is pretty expensive in Utah. The general hope is that prices come down. [24:18] One of the more compelling aspects to this particular episode is its underlying theme that Medical Cannabis patients are similar in some ways but quite different in others. [25:41] What works for one doesn’t necessarily work for everyone else. Tim, Chris, and Chelsea agreed among themselves that patients should be allowed to try different things in search of whatever works best for them.
