Maybe If It Qualified For Medical Marijuana

There is a radio commercial that has been running a lot recently that solicits participation in a clinical trial for the treatment of something called Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

According to the authoritative voice in the ad, symptoms of GAD include: restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge; being easily fatigued; difficulty concentrating or mind going blank; irritability; muscle tension; and sleep disturbance.

Many of us are familiar with these symptoms, but we call the ailment by another name – LIFE! Heck, I think I’ve experienced all these symptoms simultaneously at various points in my life. Parents probably don’t realize there is an alternative. However, instead of seeking medical treatment, we all just suck it up and move on.

If this truly is an illness, perhaps more focus should be placed on possible causes. Judging by these symptoms, I must have had a bad case of GAD immediately after election day, and after discovering all the crap that Cropp is trying to pull.
