Ok this is my opinion and I hope that it does not change the way that others view me on this board. I smoke a lot more then you do Shaymus and have found good and bad with it.
-It does lower anxiety (for some people, other it can raise it)
-Second marijuana is not physically addictive!! All these government commericials are crap. While it can be psychologically addictive it has never been proven to be physically addictive.
-It is a carcinogen...but that can be helped by using a humidifier. My best friend fought a battle with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and her doctor told her to buy one to smoke pot in before chemo!! It filters the smoke so she was only smoking the THC and not the chemicals. It also raised her appetite so she could eat.

Please do not get me wrong. I do not agree with self medicating in all cases, but I feel like marijuana can provide good benefits in some cases. I completely agree that the proper research should be done before any decisions were made....but do not always listen to those drug free commercials on TV. They are filled with slander and lies most of the time...it is all about the $$$$$$.
