Can marijuana help anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The problem with: Using marijuana for anxiety, in addition to it's being an illegal substance is that it is not well controlled. All too often it may be spiked with another drug. You would not know what you were taking. The psychotropic drugs are regulated and tested. You know what you are taking and the possible side effects. If you want medication for your anxiety, talk to a psychiatrist.
