Marijuana IS Medicine ?? !! ?!

I want to communicate with some others about their journey with chronic issues and cannabis. I've never been one for liking pharmaceuticals (especially when I learn how much money these people make off a patent) so as a child I made the decision to take myself off all medication, especially the corticosteroids. I went through a dark time in my life when I smoked commercial cigarettes and the bronchitis it caused me made me stop not even a full year after I started. As a result of this lung damage, doctors prescribed me corticosteroid based meds again as a way to stabilize my lungs again. I recently took myself off of all big pharma medication including the anti-anxiety/depression Zoloft, Wellbutrin, and Xanax. Since then I've been using essential oils in tandem with cannabis to find a treatment that's right for me. I have gotten to this point and I still don't have good studies to read through regarding the medicinal effects of marijuana on the respiratory tract OR on its physical and mental effects of anxiety and depression. I am craving to hear from others about how they've used herb medicinally for chronic diseases/illnesses. I am confident that this plant (once further laboratory tests are done) will become the cure-all drug and I'd like to think that so many others agree with this! Share your story!
