I just recently had a miscarriage and a friend suggested a joint as a good way to stop migraines and panic attacks, will this negatively effect me?

Questionable choice.: Cannibis may help your migraines but may actually exacerbate panic attacks as some people who use cannibis can become nervous or paranoid. Aside from negative side effects of this drug legal issues may come into play in your area with the use of cannibis as well. Rather than use cannibis, see your primary care doctor for prescription medication to treat the migraines and panic attcks.

Not wise: No individual advice can be given. The concept of a drink or a quick fix may seem attractive. Migraines can be triggered by hormonal changes as well as stress- consult ob/gyn. Pot can actually increase anxiety in some people and if one is trying to start a family getting involved in illegal substancces probably wont reduce stress in the long run. Talk to a therapist to find healthier ways.

Joint: The bad news is that your anxiety will get worse and it is not legal. The good news is u have time to think twice before u try it.
