Anxiety & Depression-the Jury is Still ?

For a profession that seems good at one thing, which is claiming to be "best" at viewing something as either a yes or no, or at least in general favor of medical marijuana, I think it's ironic the amount of garbage you wind up dealing with when you do encounter a doctor, nurse, or other member of the medical community.  Okay, whatever on that one.

Is it now "Enter Stage Left the Hippocratic Oath?"  Hardly, when most doctors, and almost no nurses take no kind of oath, Hippocratic or otherwise when graduating medical and/or nursing school.

Anyhow, there is also the anxiety and depression side of the RSD, and one that I think many of us tend to under-rate the effects of.  Or are wanting to admit we have.  Anyone who goes years or even weeks to months of chronic pain following a surgery, for them, that's a pretty high degree of pain.  No group of living, breathing people have got the corner on human suffering.

Including myself.  I had been quite good at causing a lot of my own suffering for a period of time, and that's not an easy task.  One I am quit good at, so I am continually reminded.  Now, by the right people.

When I'd rather hand over an opiate narcotic like methadone for a bag of meds, then I think for some of us, "weed" or hereafter, MMJ, is known as generally speaking, "Medicine."

Some support using Indica to treat pain, anxiety, and also depression.  It isn't all purpose.  I've done some amount of research, and I don't mean experimentation.  Try reading.  For depression, yes, most do choose an Indica, such as Kush, Blackberry Kush, and so on.  Although a popular strain, I favor ones with colors in them-blue, but purple and white mean really serious pain relief.

And a good, strong Sativa for anxiety.  Although typically one that responds to a "downer" or benzodiazepine, I think trying the Sativa, or at least, a high THC (dTHC) % of a 50/50, or for me?

10% Indica
90% Sativa

  EQUALS

Relief from some of the anxiety.  As well, for a time during the day, a good amount of relief from the depression associated with chronic pain.

Usually when aiming high (not stoned, numbers, LOL) I prefer to spend the money well.  I need pain relief, but we all have to sleep too.

I'm not totally sure this is relevant, but as a child, and a young adult, it was questioned as to if I had ADHD, or ADD.  I guess adding to to coffee would be weird?  Not if the doctors were right for a change.

Personally, I favor the "chase the demons away" approach.

Enjoy your meds, folks!!!
