Mary Jane saved my life. Went from major anxiety and poor work performance to improved memory and superior work performance within 1 year. Ultimately, my anxiety dropped to an all time low when I vape before bed time.

If you have a prescription you don’t need to worry about drug tests! Do what you think will help. Co workers don’t need to know.

I also wouldn’t be worried about addiction, it’s nowhere near being addictive like a cigarette or anything

I also worried that that will slow my brain down. I felt a bit slow after on Zoloft..

OP, you need to balance the risk of being a stupid stoner with the risk of not trying this solution. ok, with weed, you might be a little slower if you imbibe often, even if you’re sober at work. without weed, you have panic attacks traveling to work. really, being a little worse at your job than you want to be is way better than not being able to do your job at all. try some wacky tobacky and feel free to DM with questions.

my recommendation is that you start with something more CBD oriented than THC oriented. like a doseist calm pen. i recommend leaving the THC for the weekend to start, so you know how it feels before using it during the week. when you do THC, try one during the day that is supposed to pick you up, and at night try one that is supposed to relax you. and just do your normal stuff (maybe don’t drive or exercise just starting out, but feel free to stay home and watch netflix, go out to a museum, EAT, whatever it is you usually do on the weekend)

My concern would be having to take it with you on a plane/to a state where medical marijuana is not legal

Thank you everyone. I have an appointment next Friday to go through the options with doc again. It is extremely helpful to know im not just being weak

What’s klinopon? Op you are not weak!! I wish my state legalized it. It’s definitely a worthy medicinal

I think medical use are legal in all states? I might be wrong. And I think, again, TSA will be fine with medical license

No unfortunately medical pot isn’t legal in all States. Ridiculous given that alcohol is legal

Consultant 2, thanks for the clarification, I’ll look into it to make sure I’m not getting myself in trouble on client site

Tired of all the respectability politics. Just once I want to write what I really mean in an email or tell a client what I really think of them when they ask. F*cking tired of walking on eggshells and constantly wondering if I did or said the right thing in the right way or the right tone to make sure the people around me are comfortable. Who's doing that for me at work? Nobody.
