Marijuana

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Neoma (a host of the Mental Health Information group).

There isn't a wealth of information out there on the mental health benefits of Marijuana. The Government agencies that provide "reports" seem to be locked into the 'Reefer Madness' mindset.

I can tell you that my chronic anxiety has diminished greatly since I started using marijuana and has significantly reduced my use of Xanax. What I don't know is if it is harmful in regards to the other drugs I take for depression and S.I. but I'm willing to take the risk. Anything to get off all these chemicals I've been pouring into my body.

The one booster I take for S.I. is pooping out but I've also noticed a drop in this as well. In the past it has always been a daily event. I've gone for days without thoughts of killing myself. That's a good thing.

Anyway, I thought I'd just throw this out there for discussion. I am not advocating that anyone start using marijuana. That's something you should discuss with your Rx Doc and decide on your own whether you should use it. Like any drug the effects can be different in different people. I just seemed to have adapted to it quite easily.

It's medical advice, sorry.
