Medical Marijuana....

I have been smoking pot since I was about 14. I had a Biology teacher that grew his own and sold me some. I had/have a lot of high strung anxiety due to some stuff from my childhood. When I turned 8 years old sleeping became an issue for me. The doctor/therapist at the time prescribed me some anti anxiety meds and sleeping pills to help relieve my angst and the insomnia. The next several years I felt like I was always struggling physically. Like everything about me was 100 times heavier and simple tasks like chores/work/sports were now giant physical efforts for me. It did relieve my anxiety but my brain still ruminated constantly. Smoking pot helped slow my thoughts down enough for me to do something with all my mental energy. I recognized this and stopped taking the meds that I had been on for far to long. My grades went from fair to pretty damn good over the next few years and so did my passion, growth, and outlook on life. At the time, for me, it boiled down to two choices.

1- 2 small pills in the am, 1 small pill at lunch, and 2 small pills at night. Feel tired and shitty all day.
2- Smoke some pot, embrace the lifestyle and all that comes with it.

Two was a better choice for me at the time. Dealing with my folks hassling me about smoking and the inconvenience it created in daily life was easier than fighting the fog the pills brought on.

Strain is not something I have a choice in when purchasing. I do prefer Sativa

I am not advocating children smoking pot or anything of that nature. I am speaking about my own personal experience and reflective opinion.
