Hello my name is Tara but most people refer to me as Vampkittie I am 24 years old. I have been following the 420 Nurses since I was 17 and got my first medical card. I first saw them promoted in the dispensaries I freqented. I have always looked up to the Nurses and the advocacy and the accessibility they helped to create for patients of the 420 community.
I have been medicating with marijuana since I started having back to back surgeries on my legs. I am a disabled and legally blind person who uses THC and C-B-D for pain and comfort. I am physically disabled but I never let that stop me and honestly have found so much support and love in this beautiful community space the the 420 nurses have created. I want to help to facilitate a safe place for others. I want to introduce new people to the comfort and love of this community and work to destigmatize this lifestyle because it saved my life. Before I started attending these events last year I was struggling mentally and thought I wouldn't find a place I feel I belong but I did and I'm so thankful for that.
I wanted to join the 420nurses for years but it never seemed like the right time I was always having surgery or recovering from a previous one and it never felt like the right time to join but after my last surgery I realized this is my life I'm never gonna be 100% and never gonna be healed enough so I shouldn't put it off any longer and am not gonna let it stop me.over all I just hope to give others the confidence and acceptance that the 420 nurse community has given me.
