I'm paranoid enough about this fucking thing without exacerbating that. I'm also not certain of the immune system effects so essential to speedy recovery of this thing.
As a healthcare worker there's a bit of a joke about "weed": "Another marijuana related catastrophe" jibed only among hospital staff in jest because it's the phenomenon that almost never, ever happens. I'm not defending the chronic users, they are potentially causing themselves multiple issues especially if they're smoking it. Alcohol by leaps and bounds remains the catastrophe producing drug in countless ways by an exponent, and all of us absolutely hate the meth heads. I won't digress into that beyond stating that is the devil's deal of illicit drugs, there's no "safe" use of that garbage.
I tried baking up some brownies and eating them occasionally for arthritis pain a few years back with a strain highly recommended with good percentage content of the pain relieving ingredient. It didn't work for me. I was horny as hell, had bouts of diarrhea, became easily forgetful at work and gave the remainder away. I need to keep my wits about me at work. I have some meds only for occasional use from my doctor. He never commented much on my attempt to utilize "weed" that once as pain relief.
PTSD issues are not easily addressed. The most effective therapy I ever underwent was a drug-assisted exposure therapy. It wasn't an easy set of sessions to go through by any definition, but it effectively reduced the nightmares.
