I have been curious about the effects of "medical marijuana" for some time, since listening to Joe Rogan several years ago. While the "wonder" drug impression is perhaps over the top, I do wonder if it would benefit me. I do have anxiety/depression and take Prozac regularly. When I do not take I notice a very apparent decrease in my mood. I also have trouble sleeping and getting a good nights sleep.

Obviously, I have never partaken of the marijuana for whatever reason. Perhaps a small part of that is that it is (was?) illegal.

I have wondered about whether it would help me with my particular situation. I would like to experience the "high" but if I could also get the benefit of it without that so I could work that would be pretty good. I just like the idea of something grown and not cooked up in some lab.

The proper response is obviously to see my doctor and discuss it with her. However, I am a little skeptical about the "western medical bias" and would like the internet to diagnose me...or at least provide some thoughts to consider.

Thanks.
