PHOTOGRAPHY BY VEE @FALLFORVEE
Cannabis is my medicine. Cannabis is my quality of life. I discovered this
medicinal plant about two years ago when nothing else worked for me. I
couldn’t walk most days and needed help with simple tasks such as undressing
myself or even cooking and showering. Losing my mobility meant I lost
a sense of who I was; that I couldn’t be active or do all the things that once
were considered my emotional and physical outlets. My name is Vee and I have
Ankylosing Spondylitis, a form of autoimmune and inflammatory arthritis that
attacks the spine, and I also live with mental health illnesses such as depression
and anxiety every day.
Cannabis has allowed me to reconnect with the creativity I thought I had
lost. My being was so defined by athletics that my ideas were buried deeply,
which really repressed who I truly was. Cannabis allows me to be patient with
myself, to have the confidence to try new things and to ultimately forge my
ideas. It allows me to medicate how I want and when I want, and I consider it
as part of my daily self-care routine. I truly believe there is something absolutely
inspiring about being in control of your own self, about being conscious of
yourself, but also of the earth and the environment. Choosing this plant means
being patient and understanding with yourself and the choices you make. It
means feeling empowered by nature and by your own body; it means falling in
love with yourself first.
And with self-love comes the ability to cherish others and to cherish
diversity. To love life, to appreciate the little things and to appreciate other
women for what they truly are, so strong and so resilient. To be proud of our
imperfections and of our flaws because it’s what makes us who we are today.
I’ve always said that cannabis is about community and the last two years have
proven as such. I want other women to know it’s okay to choose cannabis as an
alternative form of medicine because it changed everything for me. I was able to
get off all pain medication, which included opioids, with the help of cannabis
and this is something I am so so proud of. If this means I can help other women
going through similar struggles, then I know my life will have been worth it.
The future is female and it excites me!

PLEASURE PEAKS
Tantric Personal Lubricants – water-based
As a woman, I prefer water-based lubes because
I’m very sensitive down there. Cannabis is
deeply rooted in sexuality & sensuality.
