Dee, I'm sorry you misunderstood me. I don't use Cannabis nor have been prescribed it. I totally agree with you, if you can get through your sobriety or first week without using anything that would be wonderfully amazing. I was just making a point that weed is probably safer than taking some chemical based benzo drug that causes physical & psychological dependence. I guess maybe the lesser of the two evils.... if you absolutely had to take another drug for anxiety relief...
But I haven't taken cannabis so I'm not sure how well it even works. I just watched documentaries saying that it helps some people and other people can get by fine without it.
