I told my doc I smoke...

[ckoutlaw]

thank you smokin and insane chub and neone else that has or will help me in the future. it has been very hard to even get up in the morning. ive cut back on smoking (UGH) so it is harder than ever. sometimes ill just feel a surge of anger and depression. no thoughts or reason for it. it fuckin sucks. i had 2 somas and passed out on the couch. made me feel better...but not much better. still had those god damned thoughts. ive noticed that if i am away from from school its worse cuz school keeps my mind busy.

....do you think i should mention my green habits to my doc? i would like to also tell her about the other drugs...acid and all but im afraid she might tell my parents.

doctors are people like us, that have their own opinions about marijuana and its uses. talk to the right doctor. if it wasnt for marijuana, i wouldnt have gotten over my anxiety attacks. it didnt necessarily make my anxiety go away, but it made me mentally stronger, able to handle anxiety. i havent had anxiety for about a year. marijuana gives me something to fight for. we need to let our ppl in office know that we will not settle for this crap anymore. all wisemen know that making a piece of nature illegal is just ridiculous. sometimes i think its a huge elaborate joke. :stoned:

my girl asked here doctor if it was ok to smoke occasionaly when she was pregnant and to my surprise he said it was fine and if any thing it would help with morning sickness.He did suggest ingesting it instead of smoking it though.All these doctors know the truth about weed they just can't support the drug cause or government won't let them

lithium is not a good drug, in fact its actualy the metal lithium that its made of and can cause liver damage and toxic poisoning. unless your bipolar disorder is severe i would talk to your doctor about changeing the meds your takeing. lithium is something that should be taken as a last resort, its really not good for your body.

the point of having regular blood work done is to monitor all of that and make sure you aren't taking a toxic dose or doing any damage.

also, for those who say 'just smoke weed' the problem is that you never know when you are going to run into supply issues and then you are left completely "un-medicated". at least with the prescriptions I know i can keep a steady supply. [i lost my steady 420 supplier a few months ago and i have no idea when i might smoke again. without prescriptions i'd be fucked right now.

I know what you are saying about the whole maybe not getting weed thing, but I am not that old and I can get weed whenever I want 24/7. But it really is IMO better then the meds. I guess it depends where you live and the availability of weed.

if it wasnt for marijuana, i wouldnt have gotten over my anxiety attacks.

i used to take klonopin for my anxiety and it was mildly effective. (i have pretty bad social anxiety). They won't prescribe me anything like that now because i tended to stockpile them then overdose.


i kinda screwed myself. sometimes i have panic attacks just because someone initiates a conversation. it's embarrassing, even crippling. marijuana helps of course, but it didn't take it away or make me strong enough like it did for you. I'm a bit envious.

i completely agree. I would stop taking prescription meds entirely if I knew I would always be able to get weed

i told my doctor about a year ago that i smoked weed on a daily basis, he freaked me out when he asked if i wanted to smoke :thumbsup: it was a suprisin answer. But currently he has diagnosed me with being BiPolar and told me to stay with my current daily plan ( smoke->school->smoke->munchies->gf->smoke->sleep ) imp:
