I was diagnosed bi-polar when I was 19 and have been using cannabis regularly since. In the 6 years since I was diagnosed, I took everything from Ativan, resperidol, klonepan, wellbutrin, paxil, prozac.....you name it, and NOTHING made me feel normal like the sweet leaf did. It slows my mind down so that I can actually process things instead of thinking a mile a minute and driving myself to a panic attack. It helps my appetite when I get depressed and dont feel like eating. It helps my nausea and pain........Marijuana saved my life
Why won't these assholes realize that it REALLY does save lives??? I hope it saves mine. I've taken 16 pharms since I was 20,that I can remember. The only ones that have kept me alive are Luvox and Xanax. Your story is so sad not only for the obvious but because none of these pharms provide long term relief. If you run out of Mary you may get aggressive but it won't kill you or land you in the ER. Str8 jackets in the ER. You can't even be honest w/ these people, answer yes to one of these 2 questions and bam no matter how calm you are, instantly you are held and humiliated.
chance942 Reviewed by chance942 on . Sharing my experience Hello everybody, I am so thrilled to have discovered this amazing resource! Following a brief stint as a passive bystander I am ready to jump in and share a bit of my story. Hopefully partaking in some kind of meaningful exchange with others who are a part of NM MMJ community. I am currently in the process of trying to obtain my MMJ card and would appreciate hearing about some of your experiences as they relate (or not) to depression and how MJ can be an integral part of the healing Rating: 5
