I have a close friend with very high anxiety and depression, etc. She has moved to an area where MJ is a part of the lifestyle. She has started smoking MJ from the time she gets up until she goes to sleep at night. It's been a year.

She says she feels much better on MJ and MJ is her friend. I have been watching her life fall apart: homeless, bankrupt, paranoia, etc. So while the MJ alleviates some of her anxiety and depression, it takes her off into a place where she is not grounded and her overall life has become unmanageable.

She has been unable to see this. She still insists she needs MJ in order to survive.

I am not against MJ. I don't think MJ is good for this particular friend.

Tecomsin, I am glad you have such insight into yourself and are committed to doing whatever you feel is in your best interests, even though it's not easy. I admire you for doing so.

I hope to continue to show you lots of support!
