My state senate is currently looking at making it legal for medicinal uses, so I have a question for those of you with experience.
I have depression, anxiety and insomnia. For depression I have
been on almost everything that you can imagine, but they don't
work with me. They make me sick to my stomach, and make my
insomnia worse. I have taken xanax for my anxiety, but that brings
up another problem, I am very addictive. I got a bit carried away
with them, so my doctor took me off of them. I am currently on
lexapro, which helps, but doesn't fix the problem. As for insomnia,
my dr wont put me on anything since he discovered that I am a
recovering alcoholic, and very addictive. He said that the last
thing I need is to get addicted to sleeping pills.
Without Marijuana, my heart beat races from anxiety. I lay in bed
for about 2-3 hrs not being able to sleep, and I just sit around obsessing
on everything that is wrong, making depression worse. When I am
high, my obsessive thoughts go away, I chill out which makes my
anxiety better, and I pass out quickly.
So this being said, are these symptoms worthy of a medical card once
my state changes, if they do? I am in no way debilitated with cancer,
aids or any of the other chronic diseases that marijuana is used on, but it still helps more then I can explain.
What are your thoughts? Will my dr, or a dr help me? Will the state issue a card for
a situation like this? Or will I have to continue to be a criminal?
Thanks for your thoughts,
