I have been dealing with anxiety and muscle stiffness for 6 years, and I've been taking Duloxetine 20mg. I've tried stopping the medication, but my symptoms return. Recently, I started smoking marijuana and feel much better. Is it safe to use marijuana to control my anxiety instead of Duloxetine, and can I reduce or stop Duloxetine while using marijuana? Also, what are the risks of using marijuana long-term, and how often can I safely use it? Additionally, I have a hypothyroid condition and take Thyronorm 50mg daily. Is it safe to smoke marijuana with this condition, and could it affect my thyroid levels or increase the risk of TED (Thyroid Eye Disease)?

Hello Dr. Phophalia, I have a white spot on my tongue that sometimes has red cuts. It has been there for 7 months and seems to fade and then build up again. Is this normal or could it be a sign of something serious like cancer?
