"How Do I Tell My Boyfriend About My Yeast Infection?"

It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (Remember, kids: Don't do drugs. Really.)

Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.)

So yes, that part makes sense. But here's the scary part: Of the kids with ADHD they study, 80% of them are on stimulant drugs.
