Examining the Myths and Misconceptions of Medical Marijuana
With statistics showing that stress, depression, anxiety and fear are fast becoming a major global problem, more and more people are turning to medical marijuana to help lift their low moods, calm chronic tension, ameliorate withdrawal symptoms, and ease their physical, mental, and emotional pain.

Dr. Rasean Hodge and Nick McCauley unravel some of

and myths about cannabis in general, and the question of medical marijuana being a safer alternative to opiates
and NSAIDs in treating PTS, depression, anxiety, addiction, mental health issues, and pain.
