How to convince parents marijuana is good for me?!


Question: How to convince parents marijuana is good for me!?
My parents found out that I have been using marijuana and are really mad about it & want me to stop!. They have a problem accepting the fact that I use it as a medicine and NOT to get high!.
I use it to deal with my BiPolar disorder / depression, and my anorexia!. I'm 17, and when I turn 18 I am going to get a Medical Marijuana License!. Since I was 7 I've been very suicidal and since I have been using it, I haven't harmed myself ONCE which is amazing because I used to do it muliple times a day!. I haven't had any mood swings, and my depression is gone!. It help me eat, too!.
For some people, therapy doesn't work no matter what, and I am one of them!. I also won't even touch the prescription pills or anything (I don't take any advil, nyquil, or any other medications!. I always use herbal remedies)!.
I don't even use the marijuana every day, only when I feel I need it so it's pretty controlled!.

Is there any way to convince them it's done nothing but helped me!? A book maybe!? I'm so lost!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If you are convinced it has helped you, and you aren't hurting anyone pro se, but yourself, as all claim, do your best to hold out until you are 18!. It is so simple for someone to judge and to say what is and what isn't for you, but they haven't lived your life and experienced your life's issues, it is your body, it is your mind, after you are 18, and if you can get a medical prescription for medical marijuana, and again it helps you in ways the so called legal stuff doesn't, then again, I say do you!. I know of individuals with MS, other than Montel Williams that use marijuana medically, as well as individuals who have had horrendous injuries to the body, i!.e!., burns, spine injuries, broken bones, etc!., who did turn to marijuana, and they are living more productive lives than they did on prescribed medication (and I don't classify them as "potheads")!. Now how do you convince your parents, show them how you act without and while under the influence, that is really all you can do!. It is so much more acceptable for you to be addicted to prescription medication that can be taxed, etc!., than something that just might work and can not be taxed!. So I say if it works and you are able to maintain a certain quality of life without being addicted - God Bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Medicinal marijuana is not used for the treatment of any of the disorders you mentioned!. Actually, you are making your problems worse!. Been there, done that, got the T- shirt!. What you are doing is called self medicating, and you're going about it all wrong!. It seems to be working because you want it to work!. The fact of the matter is that you need to put that kind of faith in therapy!. You can be helped, and legally!. Don't give up !Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow thats awesome!. If you really have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anorexia from a doctor then you could tell your parents just what you wrote there!. But if no doctor has diagnosed you, then you might not even have those things and obviously your parents would be totally against it!. If my child were to have Bipolar disorder or anorexia and marijuana helped them, I'd accept that just so long as they don't abuse the privledge!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The only problem with pot is that it's illegal, that's why your parents are mad!. You can go to jail for having it!.

Self treating problems is NOT the way to go!. I did that with alcohol for my depression!. I finally quit the alcohol addiction and got on medication!. My depression is gone and I feel much better!.

You need treatment, not pot!. Never self medicate with drugs or alcohol!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok well first off you might want to tell your parents that nice speach you gave us then talk to your doctor about a weed pill they have the same effect as weed yet no harmful sideffects
and apply for the licence as soon as you turn 18 and hey once you are there you can grow your own and share jk but i hope you have luck and if you need anymore help ask i had the same problemWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'd have to disagree with you there because Marijuana is nothing but a nasty drug which can cause cancer, heart failure, etc!. I think you're parents have the right to be angry because it only lead to "serious trouble"!. I'd smartan up and makes better choices for your health, because in the future it will really affect you and you could die young :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you have a case of illegalus rationalitis!.

Has your family doctor prescribed this "medicine!?" Or has your own experience and education as a medical doctor led you to this conclusion!.

Honestly, marijuana is not 'medicine' and is not the best path to be taking!. Talk to your parents and get help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I believe that if your parents really believed it was helping you, they wouldn't ask you to quit!. Remember, they've been dealing with your disorders as long as you have, and have a real interest in seeing you come out on top!. They're probably concerned that you'll get busted, and with valid reason!. Cut them some slack, and keep the pot out of their house!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It isn't good for you and this constant excuse of "I'm using it for medical reasons" is BS!. There are pills and counsling that will help you deal with it!.

You should research marijuana and come up with a report stating many of the pros that would argue that marijuana is good for you!. Be fair and point out the negative aspects as well!. In the end you just might convice yourself that maybe you were wrong, or your parents that they were wrong!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My boyfriends bi polar, and he doesnt smoke weed!. I think youre using it to get high to "forget" about your problem!. I was in a car accident, and in alot of pain!. I take percocets, they dont help with my pain at all, but they help me forget about it!. I dont think any parent is going to be OK with you doing drugs! Its illegal, point blank!. Just do what you want when youre 18!.!.then they really cant say anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Marijuana exacerbates the symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression!. You are a victim of your own "pretzel logic!."

You cant self prescribe marijuana, you are not even 18!. You need to tell your parents how you feel and maybe they can talk to a doctor to find a different way to deal with your problems!.!. Becoming an addict won't help you in the end, believe me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can you go to the doctor and talk to them about this!? You have a very logical reason it sounds, and I for one don't smoke it!. If you really feel it helps you, than I think you should try to valadate that!. Maybe go to the doctor first and then adress it again with them - GL!Www@Answer-Health@Com
