My father and only brother know, and my cousins who are my age (about 30). My dad doesn't smoke himself, but he's a supporter of MMJ legislation, and understands that some of us benefit greatly from access to cannabis. After all, he was married for almost 20 years to my mother, who also suffers from severe anxiety, and was never successful, even to this day, in treating it with conventional medications. He knows that I could end up the same way- stressed out and unhappy with my career and life as a result. He respects my decision to stick with weed, after going through therapy and the fun 'let's see if this works' approach that is often taken in prescribing commercial pharmaceuticals. This is just so much simpler, cheaper, and more effective, and after a while, I started feeling that there was a certain indignity involved in biweekly trips to The Couch when I really feel there's nothing 'wrong' with me, per se, other than anxiety, insomnia, and occasional panic attacks. My shrink, grudgingly, agrees. lol!
