hey there fred, I've known mmj to treat anxiety, but for some people, it can possibly trigger or increase anxiety and cause panic attacks. I knew one guy who didn't have an anxiety problem, but he had to be taken to the hospital his third time smoking because he freaked out felt like he couldn't breath. He no longer touches the mj.

On the bright side, most people who ask your question already know they're mj compatible :thumbsup:

Like Granny said, take your pill bottles with you and as long as they aren't over a year old, you should get your approval. Once you get your recommendation, the only immediate concern about people finding out is if YOU tell them. Other than that, unless your doctor or co-op gets raided by the feds, all records remain private.
