After waiting several months, I finally got my Illinois Medical Cannabis card. The thing I love is the immediate symptom relief, however, I do also see my regular doctor if things get too bad. I know this is a taboo subject, but marijuana has helped mitigate my symptoms.

I found all Xanax would do for me is get me calm for a few minutes but nothing beyond that... And antidepressants made me feel fake happy. Like I could tell on the outside I seemed more upbeat but I was aware of the illusion... If that makes sense.

I totally get that. When I smoke, I feel like all these negative feelings subside. Honestly, I've noticed that I don't sweat as much any more since I've started smoking regularly.

I was on an SSRI towards the beginning of high school. I was still fairly anxious but it helped a bit. I started smoking towards the end of high school and quit the SSRI cold turkey. Never really put two and two together but I think the marijuana kind of leveled me out.

Trying to get my Dad to get one with all his issues with the chemo he goes through but he's still been against it.... Hopefully one of these days I can get him to try it.

The government/big pharma campaigns against "drugs" that lumped marijuana in with drugs like Heroin have brain washed generations of Americans. A drug that calms and lessens pain that can be grown for next to nothing is big pharma's greatest nightmare. The more research we do into marijuana benefits, the better.

Best wishes for all you guys and family members who can use this drug.
