Minh,

I'm offended. I DON'T smoke marijuana, that wouldn't be proper!!!

I "vaporize" marijuana. You can also steep it in hot water like tea or use it in baked goods...."smoke" she says...for Christ sake am I uncivilized? smile

Here's what I know and have experienced. I've been on anti anxiety meds and suffered the side effects. I've studied what effects they have on the body...and experienced them first hand. When I read up on clonazepam and lorazepam it scared the hell out of me.

Now that I use marijuana, I'm able to sleep at night, I have a reprieve from chronic pain and neuropathy caused from the various side effects of the surgeries I've gone through. It relaxes me, puts me be in a good mood and motivates me to eat solid foods. It also has had the added benefit of putting me in "the mood"...which was an issue due to the side effects of radiation drastically lowing my testosterone levels.

Does MJ have side effects? Sure, but when I compare it to a benzo or other anxiety meds it always comes up the lesser of the evils.

Anyway, just my thoughts, I hope you find something that works for you.

Eric
