It doesn't do you any good to say "all right I guess"... It sounds as if you need different meds and I do hope you are being treated by a licensed psychiatrist and not the family doctor. If you want a physical, see the family doc, if you want your head straight see a shrink. That is what they did the extra years of schooling for! Please get the right help. If weed helps, than I hope it will be approved for us someday. Until that day, I'll stick with my shrink and advocate for good mental health and whatever helps one achieve it. We need to not only legalize marijuana for medical reason but for psychological health use also! I hope you have been very honest with your doctors when they question you about how you feel.

No one wants to be mental, but 15 years ago I finally found a doctor willing to refer me to a psychiatrist after years of wondering why my life was so miserable and daily suicidal thoughts. I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder that caused my depression. I went on SSRI medication and 30 days later I couldn't believe I had lived 40 years with my disorder. My son has been diagnosed with a similar disorder and he doesn't wish to begin SSRI treatment because he is 21, and he is afraid his liver etc will suffer if he starts medication at such a young age. He smokes weed for panic attacks, it calms him down and makes his life controllable. He's on the Dean's List and he doesn't live in fear of the attacks anymore. YOU need to find what works for YOUR issues... Weed ISN'T the problem.

I had my first real depessive episode 4 years ago. I did everything that my doctor's suggested. Took all my medication, exercise , more sleep, less sleep , new meds etc.I was having trouble sleeping and felt I needed something to help me that wouldn't make me tired the next day, something that wasn't addictive or taste horrible the next day. I smoked marijuana 20 years ago for purely social situations. Don't really know why I decided to start again but I'm glad I did. I am more energetic when it comes to getting things done around the house and my anxiety pretty much seems to to away. So if Jesus is on his way, can you ask him where he grew the good pot.

I agree with the legalization of Marijuana throughout the entire 50 states. I suffered with severe depression, panic attacks, paranoia, and anxiety. Not to mention after multiple surgeries and an assault case I was left for worse. Going through life with many migraines, pains from surgeries, and the constant desire to be not more is not an easy feat for someone my age. However I always looked down on the drug believing it to be bad, or against human nature. When nothing more could help me and after about 5 suicidal attempts I finally decided to try the amazing plant. Upon using I had felt a happy I had not felt in years. I could breath easier and felt no more the desire to not exist. My pains left me along with my sorrow. I am now able to sleep at night having my insomnia (Due by stress) left me. I gained appetite and weight and better social skills. Life has never been better since using. My family is aware and agrees it was for the better for me. Many of you will mock or downgrade this plant as a problem to society. But only those of you that have used it and experienced the true effects of it instead of rumors will know that it belongs to those of us that need it. ➢➢➢Legalize Marijuana!!!!! Hello All,
