I'd rather have marijuana than pharmaceuticals, at least it doesn't make me all f***d up just more calm and relaxed which helps me function. For instance I have a prescription for trazodone for anxiety and sleep, if I take it for anxiety then sure it reduces the anxiety symptoms but that's just because its sedating so it doesn't exactly help me function at all just takes away the worst of the anxiety by dulling my mind and stopping a lot of the physical symptoms. Cannabis on the other hand would calm the anxiety and then allow me to get on with the day and do what needs to be done and such.
But to each their own different things work for different people, if anti-depressants worked for me then I might take them but I am not very willing to experiment with anymore of those when so far its only backfired....I guess benzos every day at least klonopin is not a good idea for me either it made me all caulky and aggressive which is pretty much not how i am at all and the worst part was I didn't even realize it.
If the NT's can sedate us, they don't have to deal with us.
Certainly for me, medical marijuana has been a game changer - in the best of all ways. I'm more functional than ever and being happy isn't as much work as it used to be. What's hard is how Society is really weird about it, but whatever. Society gets weird about everything. I can't be responsible for everyone else's problems.
