I was just reading a practitioner's clinical notes on treating lyme patients.
She had various herbal teas for different things. Each tea was sort of like a cocktail of 6-12 herbs.
One of those cocktails was for depression and nerve repair and neurological - its 3rd main ingredient is cannabis.
Cannabis was in one of the other teas also.
Anyway, I think there is a ton of potential with the marijuana plant in terms of treating psychiatric disorders. The trick is to identify the correct strain for the patient and the correct dosing method.
The clinical studies thus far suggest that marijuana gives people psychosis or depression. And that is misleading. Because that only happens in 15% of the population, or from over-dosing. Even the people that get psychiatric side effects at normal doses, can get good effects at lower doses, or good effects with continued usage - for example when someone starts a ssri there can be all sorts of bad psychiatric side effects of anxiety, worsened depression, insomnia, etc...but it all smooths out with time - same thing with marijuana.
