> Sorry to sound ultra-conservative, but I disagree greatly with your pdoc. I think marijuanna should be avoided at all costs, especiall by those who have existing psychopathologies. In fact, all recreational drugs (with the exception of nicotine etc) should be avoided I think. Drugs are illeagal for good reasons...I just couldn't let you get away with the "Drugs are illegal for good reasons" line. I believe that you are way off the mark. It's all political and follows no rationality or scientific basis. If the legality of drugs was related to the harm they can cause then alcohol and tobacco would certainly be illegal. No-one has the right to dictate what I can or cannot put into my body.
With respect to self-medicating with weed. I have recently posted on the Psychobabble-Alternative about my experience with that. To summarise, it didn't work out for me and ended up causing more problems than it solved.
