Jennifer Macaluso, a hairdresser in Elgin, Ill., turned to the drug in her 40s when a doctor suggested it to help her severe migraines. Starting in 2019, whenever she felt a headache coming on she would take a hit of a marijuana vape pen and pop an edible from a medical cannabis dispensary. It worked.
