"Long–term use of Cannabis may lead to mental illness, dependence, addiction and memory issues. In fact, a prior U.S. study of 8,000 adults who used cannabis in the previous year found that the odds of depression were 1.4 times higher in cannabis users compared to non–users."
Which is all given as the reason NOT TO use cannabis if you have lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, or fibromyalgia....
Sad.
The odds of being depressed if you have Arthritis and have little or no relief because someone else says your not allowed to even try it, despite its known efficacy (Grandma's Special Tea) is probably far greater odds than cited here..... how would we know?
We are not allowed to ask!
It's just immoral because its illegal....and illegal because it's immoral, OK!
