i miss getting stoned a bit and dancing and making love...
i never smoked a lot, maybe once or twice a month. i do not drink because of my allergies; i am actually allergic to alcohol, like 25% of the japanese population i am told. (i'm a white dude.)
why do i say all of this? well, my experience the last few weeks w/medicinal weed was mixed in regards to it's success in treating my depression/anxiety.
the good; i slept well on much less klonopin.
the bad; i felt really out of it. over-drugged simply. i'm on remeron and klonopin and adding the weed left me 'hung-over' the next day. i tried some very 'lite' strains.
if i was off the other meds and was willing to put in the time to try the dozens of strains maybe it would be a different story.
the whole experience about getting the med card and going to a dispensary was quite a trip. if anyone is interested, just let me know and i can relate that story.
having said all this, i still think that there is a place for medicinal mj. i'd like to see it prescribed from a pharmacy though. the place i went to was run by very young people w/no medical background at all.
so, bummer for now.
