>I think that would be exactly my response. At low doses (someone mentioned only two puffs TID) I think it would help anxiety and sleep. Any more than that and it would sap my motivation and make me depressed. I know; I used to smoke constantly. MJ is legal in my home state of Massachusetts (USA) but one must *buy* it, and I don't have the money to do that. They are working on a subsidy for people in my position.
Then there's always Marinol (dronabinol) pills, but oddly, after my pdoc recommended MJ, he backed off and said it wouldn't work. Sometimes he's inconsistent like that.
I *would* like to try the dronabinol at a very low dose just to see, but I don't think it's in the offing.
