Everyone's situation is different. Mine keep me alive and functioning so rather needed. Weed can do a lot, but not everything, and sometimes it takes a combination of things to be effective, especially with several issues at hand. "Just add weed" is better than nothing, but didn't keep me from getting to the point of eventually realizing that I needed more than that. I have three littles who need me and me being here and using a combined therapy method beats me not being here. Trust me, not an easy conclusion to come to after what my ex husband did to keep me compliant. But one that has kept me here.
