It Was Worth A Try

When I woke up this morning I felt fine. Mid-morning I developed an annoying headache that wouldn't go away, with pressure radiating through my forehead, eyes, and cheeks. I tried ibuprofen, allergy medicine, and another cup of coffee. No luck. Four hours later I repeated the OTC medicines. Still no results. I wasn't at home, so I didn't have access to anything else. 

I walked by a store that sold essential oils, popped in, and sampled a blend that purported to relieve headache symptoms. It didn't work. A block later I saw a cannabis store. I have never been in any type of dispensary but I was desperate enough to stop in and see if they had anything that could help.

The friendly young clerk said there wasn't; the only thing they could suggest would be a honey stick that contained CBD. I learned that there was no solid research that it would work, but in their opinion it wouldn't hurt to try. That opinion might have been biased but I agreed with the assessment. 

My Colorado Hemp Honey stick was only $3. It tasted just like honey. It gave me a bit of a sugar rush but didn't do much else. At this point I can only I wake up tomorrow headache free.
