2. Coming from someone who lives in one of the weed capitals of NA this is going to sound odd...

I've never tried weed. Oh and I live in Vancouver Canada where it's all but legal. I'm actually quite curious about its effect on my moods and would be interested in trying it. However suffering from bad depression and anxiety I'm also quite reticent about taking it. Weed can have some bad psychological side effects if you are prone to them, paranoia, and worse. Wouldn't want to touch off a psychotic break. Also there's the interactions with the medications I'm already taking. Not that I don't play a dangerous game as it is what with the SSRIs and binge drinking on weekends.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. Over the years though... Locut0s Apr 2013 #4
