When I said in a previous post that paxil made me more like my old self, what was running through my head was "Yeah, like I was in the sixties and seventies." In the sixties, grass was my high of choice; I didn't really enjoy alcohol then or now. Early seventies, love and marriage...mid to late seventies babies and new family stopped use of marijuana but other highs took its place. But I often wish it had become legal and then could be used socially now in a responsible way... the way SOME people use alcohol.
What a stitch. This is one old lady who looks pretty respectable, has been raising a family, working, all the right things. In fact, I must have an addictive personality because I definitely have a weight/food thing. Yet heavy marijuana use in the '60s, indeed from 1963 (early as that goes) through '71...yet no problem stopping--other than the fond, wistful memories.
I bet medical use of marijuana would help lots of the anxiety related illnesses.
