<small> Since 1996, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington have passed legislation that removes state-level penalties from marijuana use by patients who have a doctor's recommendation. In addition, Maryland passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This dictates that if a person is arrested for marijuana use but is found to be using marijuana out of medical necessity, she or he will only face a modest fine.</small>

<small> These state laws specify that marijuana can be used to treat diseases such as arthritis, cachexia, cancer, chronic nervous system disorders, chronic pain, Crohn's disease, epilepsy and other seizure disorders, glaucoma, HIV or AIDS, multiple sclerosis and other muscle spasticity disorders, and help patients cope with severe migraines, severe nausea, and the side effects of chemotherapy. The requirements for patients and doctors to be protected by these laws vary from state to state.</small>
| I just had a quasi-revelation. I feel like a dumbass but I just now remembered I live in Arizona, one of those lucky states. I have pretty wicked social anxiety and stress and I'm thinking about looking into MM. Not every article I see mentions social anxiety or even stress as being worthy for being prescribed cannabis, so it leaves me to wonder how often such prescriptions are written for those symptoms alone. If anyone could provide personal experience or further information to answer this question I'd appreciate it.
