> Oh, I have heard a few things similar to what Shar posted like get a good nights sleep, drink tea not coffee blah blah blah, but the one that really gets me is being told to start smoking pot regularly (they were DEAD serious), said it would totally cure me, oh ya and to drink daily. HUH???? it sounds more like they have a problem. I can't believe your grandma said that to you Jeff!!
Don't laugh! There's a reason why substance abuse is sometimes called "self-medicating". Pot is actually an AD or mood stabilizer for some people. That's SOME. See the threads on psychobbble about opiates used as ADs. (Sure don't work for me.)
Alcohol has positive effects, too. It's just that if you have more than one or two drinks per day the negative effects eventually get you.
