Yeah, her name is Dr. Claudia Jensen. As of late I've been reading up on the possibilities of getting medical marijuana for my newly diagnosed ADHD, Anxiety and Depression. I'm not interested in taking perscription cocaine/meth in order to make me "function right". Plus, "A report on a comprehensive follow-up study at Montreal Children's Hospital discovered that 'at the end of five years, hyperkinetic children who received drugs (either Ritalin or Chloropromazine) did not differ significantly from children who had not received the drugs. Although it appeared that hyperactive kids treated with Ritalin were initially more manageable, the degree of improvement and emotional adjustment was essentially identical at the end of five years to that seen in a group of kids who had received no medication at all.'" - <a href='http://www.adhdhelp.org/stimulants.htm' target=_blank>My Resource</a>

So with that said, what use would I have for the junk? Not only all of the perscription stimulants have side effects. Some can cause siezures. And none of them are going to help me with anxiety or depression. With some medical marijuana I could nail all three with one perscription. A Dr. Tom O'Connell is working on a scientific study hoping to prove that medical marijuana helps people with AD(H)D. Which you can read about briefly in the FoxNews link below.

Here are some really good links...
