I'm not meaning to poke a stick at a hornet's nest, but I really am curious.  Would you have the same reaction to her question if it was about anti-depressants?

No I wouldn't have the same reaction and actually that is the point maybe talking to some one and getting on meds would be a better then smoking.

And as for you not being addicted well good for you. I was just concerned because your in post you said about being on edge all time and worrying about things you can't control and how weed makes you feel like others feel with alcohol. Sorry for the concern glad you can handle it

Nothing wrong with weed, but I would suggest you find another delivery system - other than smoking it ...    The internet is a wonderful source for recipes for lozenges and food (sugar free, preferably!

i'd rather read a question on this than another bloody 3 week stall!!!!!

That is a good idea.  Most of the time when I had looked up recipes for pot in the past they involved butter and I'm not sure if that makes your kitchen/apt smell like weed!  It's really my only hesitation.  I live in a small apartment and like to be courteous to my land lords who live above.  Out of consideration for them I don't like to smoke in our house so I don't know about cooking it! Maybe when I go home to my moms sometime I could try it, haha I'm sure she'd love that!

I was basically going to say what sin Kim said, there's a site called www.thestonerscookbook.com which has a heap of different recipes, you may have to adjust sugar in some of them.

going to point out that I don't partake in enjoying a bit of weed and I haven't for about 15 years (makes me paranoid) but I have nothing against those who do.

I would say you are good. By week 3-4 your incisions should be healed. Namaste!

Ok, I know I'm joining this party pretty late...but if you are going to use weed for anxiety and/or relaxation you should consider using a type that is high in CBD and low in THC. It is actually the type used for medical reasons.  CBD has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties without the psychoactive effects (the "high" or "stoned" feeling) that You get from THC. also No paranoia and no munchies.

That's a good question I have surgery on Monday and would like to know if I could smoke after I use cannabis to help with my anxiety. It actually does not make me hungry never really gave me the "munchies" ever. This is going to be difficult if I can't I'm already going crazy on this diet I've been doing before surgery. All because my BMI was extremely high. I hope I loose a lot of weight in the next few months.

There are many scientific studies proving that weed actually has no negative effects when used in moderation. I can also smoke a little to calm down after a hard day after work.
