Hello, I'm Max, 24 years old and originally from Bavaria, where many people still think of cannabis as the "devil's weed".When I was 20, I suffered a serious blow of fate. I felt ill for weeks and had breathing problems. After countless negative corona tests, an MRI was finally ordered. The diagnosis: a tumor between the heart and lungs, Hodgkin's lymphoma. The shock was great and the fear of the upcoming chemotherapy was overwhelming.
Chemotherapy began and with it came the dreaded side effects. I felt worse than ever before, was confined to bed and my circulation was non-existent. Nausea and constant vomiting dominated my everyday life. The medication to combat the side effects had little effect and my condition continued to deteriorate.
Finally, I asked the hospital about cannabis therapy as an alternative to the side effects, but this was rejected due to a lack of knowledge. So I turned to a private doctor who offered such therapy options. I quickly got the first prescription and was able to vaporize cannabis to combat the side effects during my second chemotherapy session. This decision was a turning point. My nausea reduced drastically, the vomiting stopped and I was able to eat again. My overall quality of life improved significantly.
After six months of intensive chemotherapy, the tests were negative - there was no longer any malignant tumor. It took about six months for me to return to normal and my hair to grow back. But the chemotherapy left its mark: chronic nerve pain developed, a rare side effect that only occurs in a few patients. The risk of other tumor diseases is now also increased, as the chemotherapy causes long-term damage to the body.
I continue to take medical cannabis from the pharmacy for the nerve pain, which saves me from having to take painkillers. My quality of life is back to where it was before chemo, even better, because I have changed my lifestyle and made it healthier.
I have always hated the stigma around cannabis. Since my cancer, I have realized even more how outdated and stupid these prejudices are about this natural remedy. I want people to understand that cannabis can really help and is not just for fun and relaxation. Given the high cost of cannabis, even though it can grow like weed, I believe everyone should have the chance to grow their own weed. That way you can watch your own medicine grow.
With the legalization of cannabis and its cultivation, I started I started growing my first cannabis plants with great enthusiasm. I find it fascinating to observe the different life cycles of the plants, how they develop and change. The sheer diversity that each genetic brings with it - from the smell and appearance to the effect and taste - is incredible. I am convinced that cannabis offers a natural and effective alternative to conventional medication. I now wanted to share this knowledge with other people.A friend and I came up with the idea of starting a seed business. We wanted to establish our own seed brand that would highlight and inform people about the medical benefits of cannabis. Through luck and contacts, we came across a manufacturer who is one of the major players in medical cannabis production. Our seeds are tested in university laboratories for pathogens and germination, because a medical product should also be produced under medical standards. Our brand reflects these values.
My goal is to have a positive impact on the market and educate people instead of thinking in terms of stigma. It is important to note that cannabis is not suitable for everyone and can have negative effects on some individuals, especially if mental health issues are present. That is why we recommend trying cannabis responsibly and stopping use if you experience negative reactions. Professional advice should always be sought to ensure the best possible treatment, but for many people, cannabis can be an effective solution for pain and many other ailments.
