  • I agree with you for the most part but I think you should do more research into drugs before you consider them a waste of money, time and health. I have always suffered from horrible anxiety, many nights I've spent up having panic attacks, vomiting, horrible headaches, because I'd get so worked up over things. This year I smoked marijuana for the first time, it was March 13th, I remember distinctly, and since then I've gotten ahold of myself and have control over my anxiety, it doesn't control me anymore. Marijuana helps me sleep, takes away my sick stomachs that I get from anxiety, my social anxiety is basically non existent now whereas before my heart would start racing and my head would spin just having to order my food at a restaurant because I'd be so scared of looking at or talking to the waitress. It's helped me be less judgmental of people, I've made a lot of friends and discovered so much about myself and other people and social stigmas and things like that. It makes me feel good, to me, its money well spent.

    Two months ago I was prescribed Cipralex, 20 MG a day, because I went to see a psychologist to discuss my anxiety. Not only did it destroy my sex drive, make me sick, and give me trouble sleeping, but it fucked up my head big time and one night I was just sitting in my living room all alone and it was like dark clouds just invaded my mind and I had no control over what I was doing. I got up, walked into my kitchen and opened up my medicine cabinet, started calculating whether I had enough sleeping pills, anti depressants, tylenol 3 and cough syrup to just make a big cocktail and kill myself.

    I had to physically tell myself "Its that medication, suicidal thoughts are a side affect, just go to bed". I went outside, smoked a joint, calmed myself down enough to go to bed, and I haven't taken those pills since.

    Before you judge because we spend our money on drugs, maybe you should point your finger at all the people who spend their money on legal drugs and end up having health problems and mental health problems. Legal drugs kill more people every year then illegal drugs do.
