There is one more benefit for which I utilize cannabis that I left out in my earlier post.
I figured "why not be perfectly honest?"
There may be other people out there with the same affliction.

See: I've had an eating disorder since I was about 10 years old.
I've been in hospitals.
I've been on medications.
I've been down to 85 pounds in my 30's.
I've had the fronts of my teeth replaced with porcelain veneers. (the stomach acid ate away the enamel).
I've had tissue replaced in my throat (same reason as above).
Worst of all: I've lied to myself and every person I know.
When I smoke pot, I don't have the anxiety of counting calories or how much weight I may have put on with a simple sandwich. PLUS: (here's the good part) the right strain gives me severe munchies.
Anorexia / Bulimia (a.k.a. "ana-mia) is NOT an image issue, not about being pretty or cool, it's a control issue. Kind of like: "I can't control the whole world, so I'm going to control my entire body." It's sickness, plain and simple.
When I'm high I seem to let go of that need to control myself.
I've talked to my shrink about this, and we live in a state where it is not legal, and he has told me that ganja is probably the best possible thing for me to use to control my anxiety and anorexia. (those weren't his exact words, of course)
But I wanted to read other responses and see if anyone else has an eating disorder helped by herb. It has certainly saved my life and kept my child from being an orphan.
I'm proud to say that I'm at a healthy, normal weight now, living happily with a bud in my hand. So yes: pot helps with anxiety and insomnia (in my case), it cures the symptoms of P.M.S., and it literally saved my life with it comes to anorexia / bulimia. If you know anyone with an eating disorder, please tell them about how pot can alleviate the weird need to starve oneself. I know it sounds crazy, but it's a habit just like any other, except perhaps it is more dangerous than a serious drug addiction because it's NOT illegal. There is nowhere to go and find your "fix". You don't need any money to feed your addiction. You can do it at work, home, or the side of the road, wherever. And it will kill the person doing it quicker than alcohol, cigarettes, and a poor diet combined.
This was kind of hard for me to reveal and type about, so please excuse any grammatical errors and lengthy bits.
I just think that this is ONE MORE reason why it should be legal. :thumbsup:
