The History That Matters

Understanding Your Personal Timeline with Cannabinoid Therapy

By Chris | December 20, 2025 | Veteran Stories

Attention.

The topic at hand is the history of marijuana. We're gonna talk about a different kind of history. We're going to talk about the medical use history of marijuana. A lot of other educational sites, when you go to the history of marijuana, it really talks about how it goes back on the timeline, thousands of years and was used by this Empire at this time or date, and for these purposes and this culture.

A Different Perspective on History

When it comes to talking about the history of marijuana, it's more important to understand the history of one's usage. I don't think that this is a plant that is a miracle drug. I don't think this is a, you use it one time and you're okay, I think that if you ask anyone who participates or practices the use of this plant and its applications, they'll tell you that there is a time in which the effects wear off and reapplication or reuse is occurring, that's the type of history, we need to be talking about.

My Personal History

For instance, I use cannabinoids derived from the marijuana plant in shampoo, and I believe that I can feel a suppression of emotions when it comes to rage, anger, my fast pace in emotional reactions and stress that are factoring into my decisions making process throughout my life and in daily occurrences. When we talk about history, I'll tell you about my history. I use shampoo daily with extracted and activated cannabinoids, and as I use it daily, it grows my temperament through its ability to further balance me out within.

I've witnessed those who use marijuana to medicate through smoking. It's not a smoke one time and all of a sudden, a miracle occurs, and it fixes the pain and provides the relief that brings you to a certain permanent balance. It does an incredible job of alleviating the present moment and allows the following future moments in a linear flow of time to be also pleasant. The underlying triggers still need to be addressed and identified.

Treading Above Water

Cannabis does a great job in allowing you to be present in dealing with moments without possibly the tremendous pain of ongoing challenges. In dealing with that pain, it requires a repetition of use. Reinstating that it's not one time you're fixed and it's done. It's better described as 'there's this problem that needs to be addressed and I'm currently using the plant to tread above water to breathe air' feeling. This is allowing your spirit and mind the air that pain can drown and suffocate.

I use it in the shampoos and I use it on the body for muscle support and healing. Physical ailments have seen improvements from the amount of work I've done that has caused my body to become deformed. I've noticed that my temper and emotions in dealing with those around me has tremendously expanded and lengthened. I'm less likely to be prone to overwhelming emotions, clouding my ability to make decisions in the moment; absolute advantage.

Focus on Your Most Recent Use

It's important to focus on the history of our most recent use. We do not need to go all the way back to ancient civilizations and see how they use the plant. We need to go back to our last application of cannabinoids and see, record, and be present and mindful of their ability and their duration of time that they allow us to be in a better conditional state.

Tracking Your Progress

It's important to study that if one use lasts us 6 hours, 2 weeks later, you're starting to see that one use can last up to 8 hours, 12 hours, or even 16 hours, then that's a positive trend, and that maybe it's possible healing is actually occurring. Maybe. It's possible that your system's becoming treated to where it's like a depleted battery that's being recharged and all of a sudden, you're able to walk around at a 100%, rather than 10% or 5% or 1%.

These are considerations when it comes to talking about the history of marijuana that researchers should be starting to gather information on, starting to provide records, and starting to educate the public about; thinking about their last use. It's going to be more important to focus on the last use than the future use. If this plant has the healing powers, then we'll likely see a significant growth in time pass from our most recent and historical use.

Managing Trauma, Not Erasing It

One more thing I'd like to add is in my experience and with my prior experiences: Despite being able to use this treatment, it doesn't erase the traumas that occurred or the possibility of reignition or reigniting those trauma's triggers, what it does do is it provides an option to where those traumas can be mitigated. It allows you to turn and salvage some part of your day, to be productive in society and help others around. There is joy in being able to salvage the day and approach others while holding your baggage as a warrior who is fighting and moving forward.
