I totally agree with it. The word addiction is bandied about too readily, it's become a crutch. Not that there aren't true addicts... I met many of them in San Diego and Mexico.

I also agree with using a combination of herbal and pharmaceutical remedies. I know that using medical marijuana cuts back greatly on my need for narcotics, which can only be a good thing. I have no anxiety meds, but I use tea in the same way. Medical mj is great for anxiety, too. It rarely makes one paranoid, regardless of the rumors.

There is never going to be one regime that fits all patients, that's just impossible. I think that everyone in as much pain as us rsd'ers are in, should try anything they can to get some relief.

Pot may not make one paranoid but it does trigger and can increase anxiety and panic attacks in people. It did this to me. It also depends on the kind of pot it is. Just like meds we all react differently to the different varieties of pot out there. Pot doesn't do diddly squat for me for any kind of pain relief. It does the opposite. It makes any pain I have more intense. So that's not a solution for me.
