Can Marijuana Help To Overcome Suicidal Tendencies?
Hello I suffer from depression,anxiety and have atempted suicide on 12 different occasions. Recently in the last year and a half I started smoking marijuana for the first time and have found huge changes in my mood and personality and suicide becomes the last thing on my mind. So my question is do I qualify for medical marijuana? I live in a state were it is legal (Rhode Island)
