:lol: Back when I was using weed on a regular basis, I was still years away from being officially diagnosed, and nobody was talking about "medical marijuana' in those days. However, I would still say it was medicinal for me, because, after being a silent wallflower my entire life, suddenly I had actual friends, that I hung out with on a regular basis, and actually interacted with, by talking about our mutual interests, most of which involved music trivia and record collecting.

Those days are long gone, as are my days of dating, and other social activity, and now I'm back to living in my own tiny space, chronically alone and trapped inside my own head. So I'd say in my case, "medical" marijuana was the only thing that ever gave me anything resembling a normal life. I miss it. :?

I am a daily medicator and I feel like it helps me be okay with who I am as a person. I think the key is moderation(something I have yet to learn) but I compensated from quitting nicotine by smoking more marijuana. Although, like will@rd said, I think it brings people together in a common interest and it can be helpful socially.

I see you're in the Netherlands. Is there a difference in the stuff you can buy in your coffee shops vs. what is considered medical?


As for me, medical marijuana where I live is not an option. I was talking with my therapist about this yesterday. I am all for trying it. I am at the point where I really think it could help me be less anxious and short-tempered around my family.

I am all for it!! !! ! 8) 8)
