If you weren't part of a study that you volunteered to be in, that's really unethical. If you were in a study and volunteered for it, as much as it might suck, you should always go into a medical study knowing there's a possibility you'll be in the control group. That said, I hope you didn't suffer any damage from being unmedicated, and if you did, that it was minimal.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'd ask what it was for? My advice... smoke weed if it's for some sort of mental instability. That's what I do for my military related PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. Works better than any pill the VA had me on.

I'm glad you've found something that works for you but weed is illegal in many places also some of the side effects of smoking weed can make things a lot worse. Obviously it is a personal choice and each to their own.

Okay... So we encourage all types of drug use in here now. All good things, clearly.

you might want to look up the definition of placebo...

Wow.. depending on the context, this could be the darkest FML I've ever read
