Some good news... from the federal government!
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-nih-says-yes-weed-eases-anxiety?trk_source=recommended
just reinforcing what people already know. the article explains WHY weed helps with anxiety. But that WHO is much more important to me. The fact that a federal organization is making this claim is huge. This could really help with further legalization.

An olive branch
It occurred to me that the general tone of this blog is quite negative. I have a lot of anger and frustration about the topics I post here but i want to be fair. I am know there are good professionals out there in the psychiatric field who actually care and will work hard to help their patients. I;m sure many people have benefited from psychiatric care and I have myself to some extent. So I don't want people's opinion of this site to be me just saying fuck all the doctors. That said the majority of my experiences have been largely negative therefore I will continue to vent when I feel I have a valid complaint. That's really the whole point of why I made this blog, for an outlet for my frustrations not to praise the good work that may being done.
Fear and Loathing
Working on writing Fear and Loathing in The Psych Ward, the problem is my memories are blurry. They had me so fucked up on chemicals in there that its hard to piece together the whole experience. But we'll see how it turns out only around 2000 words now.
I did intentionally get myself hospitalized in a psychiatric unit with the intent of doing Hunter S. Thompson style gonzo journalism on the hell hole, granted I was having a nervous breakdown and was completely out of my mind at the time, I acted up the first day and as a result got an extended stay and was heavily sedated to such an extreme it put holes in my memory.
I wish i could get hold of some sodium pentothal and shoot myself up with like in Hannibal Rising before going to sleep then wake up and take notes of the dream... just kidding but I always wondered if that would actually work. However it would depend if memories were repressed or literally obliterated by the chemical lobotomy drugs they gave me.

A new definition of irony
RANT:
I went to the "doctor" to get something for anxiety. This prick bitched at me about having smoked weed in the past then seconds later writes a script for 1mg klonopins(benzos...). This makes me assume that this medical doctor's (psychiatrist) professional opinion is that benzos are healthier, safer and more effective than weed. From extensive experience I can say this is nothing short of ignorant, naive, corrupt and borderline negligent. As far as I'm concerned its a violation of the Hippocratic oath.
Anyway i had to vent about this. Weed has never hurt me, benzos are highly addictive and can kill fairly easily yet this system says weed is the bad drug. My hope is that in October Florida voters will ok medical weed once and for all and put quack fucks like this guy out of business preferably disbarred and behind bars.
