2. The Permission Slip
from Highly Functional Hosted by Sarah from lutruwita/Tasmania
The Permission Slip You've done the research. You've read the studies. You've had the 11pm spiral. You might even have written a pros and cons list. And still — there's a voice that says: that's not for someone like you. You're managing. You're fine. This is the episode about that voice. In this episode, host Sarah shares her own story — the years of managing brilliantly on the outside, the treatments that sort of worked, and the moment she realised that functioning at significant personal cost is not the same thing as being well. This isn't a guide to getting a prescription. It's something quieter than that: permission to decide you're allowed to want better. Permission to take up space in a doctor's appointment. Permission to ask the question you've been googling at midnight and not saying out loud. We also walk through how medicinal cannabis access actually works in Australia — the TGA pathways, what a GP conversation can realistically look like, and what to say if you want to open that door. Highly Functional. For the quietly prescribed, professionally exhausted, and chronically curious. — This episode contains personal lived experience only and does not constitute medical advice. Medicinal cannabis is a prescription medication in Australia. Please speak with your GP or a qualified healthcare professional regarding your own health.
