Marijuana Treats Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD and Marijuana
This is a ridiculous contention- there are two people cited as evidence for this. OCD is an anxiety disorder which can be affected by a myriad of things. If it is that case that two people with OCD responding positively to a substance qualifies as evidence that the substance is medicine, then I submit that caffeine is a medicine too. We'll probably soon find that the same is true of chocolate.
