Wow, I could never afford that much marijuana. I haven't used it in years. Well, if marijuana were legal, and I had a choice between an SSRI / SNRI or marijuana, I'd choose marijuana. The question is what's the lesser of two evils (when you overlook the legalese) in terms of unpleasant side-effects and overall effectiveness in relieving symptoms and improving mood? I don't know -- one person's nirvana is another person's hell -- but clearly it's a controversial question that I'm not qualified to answer. I don't think doctors treat marijuana/cannabis dependence. Instead, they hope to treat the underlying disorder. Alcohol is my subsitute for marijuana b/c I cannot afford to get another mark on my criminal record (unrelated to prior marijuana use). Alcoholism runs in my family so I need to exercise moderation as much as possible. So far so good...Still, it was prescription drugs, Tylenol and alcohol that teamed up to help kill my mother. Marijuana is a minor irritation compared to what's w/in easy reach at the pharmacy and ABC store.
