marijuana use and treatment

[aikiichi]

I have had depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia for 3 years. I can't find any kind of doctor who will treat me, because I smoke marijuana every day. Its the only thing that makes me feel better, but only while I'm actually high. My family doctor wouldn't give me anything unless I quit, I can't find a psychiatrist who will give me medication unless I quit. Does anyone know how to find a doctor that will treat me without insisting I quit doing the one thing that helps?

Cannabis is not a depressant.  Please educate yourself on Medical Marijuana.  It is an Herb not a drug.  Untill you have seen people that actually benifit from Cannabis then please dont make a judgement.  I have personal close friends that would be dead right now if not for Cannabis.  Safest substance known to man.  No one and I mean no one has ever died from Cannabis.  You can die from asprin.  Get educated and believe in yourself.  God bless you.

Gee, do you think there might be a connection between using weed every day and your other problems?  Do you think you might have become dependent on it?  You know, these natural highs have been around for centuries, but it took the stupid northern Europeans to use them every day.  Native peoples always used them on occasion, and then usually for spiritual reasons.  If you take any natural depressant every day you will get so used to it you will have problems, as you do.

TO THE POINT HERE, you want help, stop smoking, bottom line, I am so glad you can't find a Dr. to give you meds, Alcohol and POT do not mix with MEDS OR RECOVERY FROM PA OR ANXIETY, anytime I see a post with peopel who ask for help and are still INSISTING on USING, then I see a person that is just not ready and has not REALLY had a bad PA or Anxiety enough to tell them to STOP!
