I thought I'd share my own experiences with marijuana vs benzos. I'm on the medical marijuana program here in New Mexico, and (when I can afford to buy it) it's wonderful. It really helps with my anxiety and PTSD. The only drawback in my situation is that insurance will pay for benzos, but it won't pay for pot.

I also have a clonazepam prescription for when I can't afford pot, but it takes so long to work that my panic attack is over by the time it kicks in. Very frustrating! Then again, it does give me a chance to use the calming and grounding methods my T suggests. Ativan works much more quickly, but when I was taking it, I could see how addictive it was.

Given the choice, I much prefer marijuana over benzos.
