I have a few questions regarding the treatment of certain debilitations with marijuana.
In the last year, I have been diagnosed with depression and adult ADD. I have been on a lot of different prescribed drugs in this time frame, including Zoloft and Welbutrin for the depression (I'm still on both, Welbutrin for depression and Zoloft for anxiety.); and for the ADD I have taken Adderall, Adderall XTR (extended relief), and now I am on a newer drug called Vyvanse. I have noticed a marked improvement in my depression, anxiety, and ADD since starting treatment and prescriptions. But, I with in the last few months I started smoking on a relatively regular basis and I have noticed an improvement on all aspects of these conditions.
Now, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I was keeping my smoking a secret from my wife. I was feeling guilty as hell and planned on telling her, but I wanted to find the right way to explain it to her. Long story short, she found this forum open on my laptop and asked me about it. The cat was out of the bag and I told her how I had been feeling since taking marijuana. The problem is that she is one of those that has been brainwashed by our society that marijuana is illegal and therefore, bad. This has caused a huge riff in our relationship for the last day and a half. I have been having troubles dealing with how to explain it to her how I feel that I need to stay on marijuana. I tried printing out a bunch of literature that I have found on the net about the successful treatment of my conditions, but she still is very stuck on the fact that it is illegal, and "bad".
I guess I am just looking to vent a bit, but I also want to find out some of your experiences.
Thanks for reading.
