For medically related reasons I have several, including many years of undiagnosed Celiac disease, which had symptoms such as low appetite and depression.

I developed stress disorders, and worse Celiac symptoms, after 9/11 due to working at jobs near Ground Zero, anthrax attack threats (had to wear breathing masks and protective gloves when opening mail at work), the tragic atmosphere of the area, threats of more attacks targeting our buildings, subways, etc. I was not so much afraid, but the cumulative effect of being sick, having to watch my back at and around the workplace, and the other stresses added did not make for a happy camper.

Today, about 40 years since I first tried it, small amounts of marijuana normalizes me and is extremely helpful in other ways -including my musical studies.
