A2AI’m sure that many people self medicated with cannabis years ago. I did.In the 1950s my severe introversion was said to be “she’s just shy, she’ll outgrow it, make her play with others”.And it was hell on me.I didn’t outgrow it and was constantly told to speak up, smile, and try to get along. I hid in the corner most of high school.At 17 and in college I was introduced to cannabis. It was 1960 and the early days of cannabis and there had been no legitimate studies.Only the made up ones that Henry Ainslinger and his gang of anti prohibition cowboys fabricated. Reefer Madness! If the government says it’s true it must be.Cannabis changed my life as a college student and young adult. I didn’t drink. I didn’t smoke tobacco. But I enjoyed cannabis and was able to be social and have fun for the first time in my life.However I never felt dependent on cannabis. There have been many times in my life when it was expedient for me to not imbibe. There were no withdrawal symptoms and I felt fine- shy again but physically and psychologically able to cope without cannabis.I believe that by using cannabis I was able to decide to make changes in my ability to relate to other people.I used regularly for 13 years, stopping for pregnancy and to breast feed my sons. While there was no proof that cannabis, alcohol ot tobacco, much less the Milltown downers that were being prescribed to women by the hundreds or the LSD I used at a concert would have any effect on a pregnant woman an (1960s, remember?) it seemed treasonable and, at the time, I was a back to the earth hippie chick who avoided pharmaceuticals, but thought cannabis was natural..Natural Hgh was what it was commonly called.After my children were older I began using again. I lived in a sort of commune for a while and we grew cannabis. I’ve smoked and eaten cannabis infused food for 6 decades as well as been an advocate for cannabis legalization.Now I use it to control pain and muscle spasms as well as arthritis and hypertension .I waited to see what type of answers you got before I checked in, and I’m pretty appalled at the ignorance-from God will cure you to you; become an addict.= because cannabis is a gateway drug..what I’ve come to expect from some specific Quorans.I was most definitely undiagnosed as at the time there was no diagnosis for introversion.i accidently discovered a drug that helped me deal with my reality and using it helped me learn about myself, to grow as a person and understand that I can have some control over my inate urge to hide in a corner.I’m sure I’m not alone in this. Young and middle aged adults dont realize or forget that pharmaceuticals wasn’t always avaable as they are today. This was before the polio vaccine was available!We’ve learned, from the Perdue OxyContin chaos, that Big pHARMA is not trustworthy, not open about the drugs they peddle to us in times of desperation.Let me tell you what cannabis has done for me in the past 5 years:Delete Ambien entirely at night-bad side effects, nightmares and I have woken up in my car going to the store (these are documented and not uncommon side effects of Ambien). With THC- a relaxing nights sleep, no hangover the next dayDelete OxyContin and Methadone-entirely--I was in a very serious auto accident in 1994 and in a medically induced coma for 2 weeks, in hospital for 2 months and inpatient rehab for 6 months before I could come home. By the time I came out of my coma I was addicted to OxyContin. Never had any issue with things like Vicodin previously but Perdue made a drug that caused addiction. 25 year later I had titrated myself down to 80% of the fife I’d vern taking and cold turkey withdrew from opioids, using CBD to control pain and some of the side effects. It was a bitch on wheels. I’ll never put myself in that position again.Lower blood pressure. when I took opioids I was on 4 high blood pressure meds. Now I am on HCTZ and CBD alone. I use CBD to control pain now-yes I’m still in pain from that 26 year old auto accident. -and as a nice side effect it also lowers my blood pressure. THC can raise blood pressure but I primarily use CBD, except at night when I want to rest.So I’m off 3 pharmaceutical classes of medication using something I grow and make myself at home! No wonder Big pHarma wants to control and has fought against legalizing cannabis.I make my own tinctures and oils and cannabutter, edibles and working on a gummy recipe right now.I could have become a drinker to control the pain, I could have smoked tobacco to become more social (everyone did this in the 1960s) but cannabis was a better choice by far,I wish people could set aside their bias, left over from the old studies fabricated by Henry Ainslinger in the 1930s, and finally accept thatAdults have the right to decide for themselves what is best for themThe treatment community is dollar bottom line based and lies to parents about rehab of ‘addicted teens’Cannabis is not addicting for the majority of the populace.Cannabis is helpful for many others.Ive read so much false information being touted in answers to this question that I have to shake my head in amazement.
