re: pacifier. I get what you mean. I don't like to talk about it, but I suffer with depression and anxiety (treated now for over 20 years, so I'm pretty balanced out between the SSRI's and benzos.) Pot really helps manage anxiety issues for me and keeps me from leaning on a "fast, booster" dose of Xanax to calm me down when I'm having a particularly bad time with the human condition. On 1mg ER 4 x daily (every six hours) and have no desire to up my doseage past 4mg of Xanax per day. To be honest, I'm counting my blessings that despite being on benzo's for so long, that my body has seemed to find harmony in a way where it's not building up a serious tolerance, and is still incredibly effective after so many years of continual, responsible, directed use. Hate to sound like a fag and use stuff like "entourage effect", but life is pretty fucking sublime, even in the most stressful situations, when I'm properly dosed on my meds, and have taken a few good rips of an Indica from my vape.
