I've eaten Etheopean cuisine only one time, and I want SO MUCH to have another go at it!

"Legal medical" is really stretching the situation. Almost no-one is aware that it is available via prescription, doctors aren't able to bring up the matter, and it's NZD300 for 10g.

At some point, I'm going to talk to my doctor about my difficulty getting to sleep. In the past, they've mentioned about how much better I was doing when I was active in sports, which I said that was when I was regularly consuming cannabis but have since stopped (because I don't have the black market connections). They're aware that cannabis helps me, but can't prescribe it for anxiety or depression, or even bring it up for discussion for what it could be prescribed for, because of the laws here. If, however, I'm having trouble sleeping, they might be able to prescribe me a herbal remedy which can be made into a tea (because selling dried plant matter for consumption via the lungs is illegal owing to potential harm).
... FUCK the laws around here!

Reply to TIL of Complex PTSD, which arises from prolonged, inescapable trauma (like child abuse/neglect, sex trafficking, or solitary confinement). It's hard to spot & treat, and can last a lifetime. Victims have a diminished sense of self, and issues with trust, boundaries, cognition, motor skills, & more. by Pfeffer_Prinz
I've been diagnosed as having c-PTSD. I was raised in a severely emotionally neglectful environment, where I had to figure life out for myself because although I had two parents, in a practical sense, I really didn't.
It's tough trying to identify what's wrong, since the symptoms also resemble other afflictions, like Asperger's and ADHD. It's also tough to get appropriate help, since what I've been through makes me severely distrustful of the same people I would need to seek out for help.
