Many years of teaching, and working with people, and just plain common sense has lead me to several conclusions.
One is that a LOT of the most intelligent "stoners" in high school were stoners because then needed it to reduce their anxiety (I was not one of them). Today they would get pills, that are not as affective, and have side affects. Every psychologist, psychiatrist, MD, and OD I have ever asked about it, has said marijuana i…s THE best and most efficient anxiety reducer available (7 total)… PERIOD.
We should all remember that we did not evolve to live in the huge, mobile, and communicating societies we live in now. Even Biblical societies were much smaller…
So many people today do not fit. We try… and we are often successful. But over the long haul, we all just sort of burn out. Then we need to find ways to relax, and feel better about life, and the world.
Ramblings of an Agoraphobe 
my son says pot is great for anxiety and his OCD as well. I am glad that he has something that helps him without having to go on all those medications. I believe that soon it will be legal!

I experimented with marijuana in my younger years before children, and I can honestly say that it made my anxiety/social anxiety MUCH MUCH worse. It made me obsess about my anxious thoughts even more! It made me BEYOND paranoid…made me feel awful!!! Everyone is different. This is just my personal experience. I hated it!

I know others who have had bad experiences with it too. These brain chemistry issues can be all over the place. Thank you for sharing that!
