Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. The pot may be helping relieve your anxiety. However it is not actually treating your IBS. I hope you understand and consult an internist who can help with you problem with irritable bowel syndrome. I also hope you can consult a psychiatrist so that you do not become dependent on the substance. I hope you consult a psychologist as well as soon as possible.

I hope this helps. Take care of yourself and have a lovely day!
