marijuana cures my anxiety/depression

[hihigh]

Sometimes ill feel anxious about going somewhere, meeting someone, or just doing things i'm not sure of in general. Whenever I toke up all of that goes away. I become more sociable, don't dwell on things, and in my opinion, perform better in life because of that. I also get down on life sometimes, nothing really major, but just feeling depressed every once in a while. Could be because all my best friends go to another school, and I don't have a girl but when I smoke, it just helps me forget about all that shit. It really makes me content with life in general. I can walk outside and think to myself, "wow, what a nice day." with a smile across my face. I don't stress out about unnecessary things like I would if I were sober.

I feel like weed also makes me a nicer, and just more interesting person to be around in general. When i'm under the influence, i always get along fine with my mom. I usually end up getting into deep conversations and making her laugh with the stoned shit that comes out of my mouth, haha. Don't get me wrong, i have a good relationship with my mom and parents in general sober or stoned, but have the tendency to get into petty arguments over nothing in particular when i'm sober. I just feel like if everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place.

I hope that when i'm older, and in a career, i'm still able to get home after a days of work, sit on the couch, turn on t.v. and light up a J.

I love marijuana!!!!!

A-men to that bro!!! i feeel ya

i smoke weed everyday of my life and its kind of began to come all natural to me and i dont see it as a drug anymore. ive smoked it soo much i need it all the time and if i dont hav it, which has coincidently happened to me today, i get all moody and it feels like i cant do or dont want to participate in anything unless i hav weed cause it brings the life bak into me and makes me feel good agen.

Weed takes al ur problems away its true, but smoke it as much as u can, cause if theres a gap, u'll feel shit until u llight up agen. KEEP TOKING :)

[sick ed sam]

I know exactly what you saying mate.......apparantly i'm severely depressed at the minute and am going through counselling and shit but I much prefer to have a smoke as like you was saying just kinda makes things better my mum says that when i smoke it I'm just pursponing(or however it's spelt) my problems but i think she's wrong because when i have a spliff & start to think about where things are going wrong in my life I find it alot easier to put things into perspective i can work out how I'm going to deal with things but when I'm sober everything is just rushing round my head getting me all muddled up haha well I know it's safe to say I'm going to be smoking weed for as long as possible. :) keep toking x

[alwaystrippin]

yer i dont like those gaps either, usualy b/c i dont have the money for more lol. im a regular user and wen i smoke i cant think of shit even if i try hard. but it makes u think of other stuff, weed gives u like a different perspective on the way u look at stuff which is why i like how its changed me.

err am i the only one here who considers this a bad thing?

this is exactly how you abuse marijuana. by using it to avoid your problems.

you shouldnt feel like u need mj just to get through the day.

[sim667]

here here, i agree, i smoke draw everyday pretty much, and the first time in 6 years i couldnt get any i was going nuts!!!!

dont use it to solve your problems, only you can do that, its a sociable drug, be sociable with it and smoke and gatherings etc

[enthused]

if you like smoking, smoke every day. if you feel like you have to do it, dont do it so much..occasionally.

Smoking makes me much more sociable.
Sober, I am usually quite shy around people I'm not too familiar with and usually fairly quiet even with my best friends.

I see what you are saying, and believe me i have thought about it and at least in my situation, this isn't the case. I normally just get depressed over things that aren't worth dwelling on, you know? Problem is i dwell on them, and always make them out to be worse then they actually are. When i smoke marijuana, i think about this stuff in my head, suddenly i rationalize it and realize it's not nearly as bad as i thought it was at the time.

You know, I have a similar problem as you... I found out I had Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which gave me a type of depression... it really sucked, I'd get depressed over nothing, but smoking helped take my mind off things too...

If you're the kind of person who can stand to research stuff, here's a couple links of crap that helped me. Just skim it over and see if the effects fit you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysthymia

If that doesn't help... good luck man, I found out how I could make myself happier, I'm sure you can too. And keep smokin :) Good for the soul

yeh i know what your talking about. i stress over small things way too much. smoking does help me analyze sitations better, but usually when the high dies down, the anxiety returns.

[soxsuk6432]

Yeah I started smoking because my OCD was getting me real depressed and now I'm fine.

[SweetDreams420]

Back in the day i was real quiet kept to myself had little to no friends kinda thing then i smoked weed then for some i came out of my shell id talk to everyone then i started getting more and more friends as bob marley said "Herb reveals one true self" and he is so right.

what the hell are you talking about?, weed doesnt cure your problems, it just blocks them out, as soon as you sober up your problems are still there. Dont abuse the herb, use it as a tool not like a junkie to keep reality away.

What are YOU talking about? Did you even read the posts? lol.

[420purplehaze420]

actually no i didnt read most of the posts because its all kids saying they smoke weed and it fixes all there problems right up, but its true weed doesnt CURE anything, as soon as all your weeds gone its back to reality. this is whats called dependance, if you cant stop smoking weed for a week, your dependent on it and have no self control and thus give all the rest of us stoners a bad name, but im done ive argued over this too many times

time for a bowl

peace

don't let weed become a crutch

your right. and thats what i was saying. all your problems return once you come down.

[GottaStayHigh]

your right. and thats what i was saying. all your problems return once you come down.

Thats why you gotta stay high.

[8675309]

Thats why you gotta stay high.
That's pretty messed up logic. Yeah we all enjoying being high but nobody should HAVE to smoke to be able to function. You shouldn't be that dependant on anything.

[briman]

i agree with 420purplehaze420 it doesnt cure your problems it just blocks them and puts them to the back of your mind try to go without weed for a week or so and see how u act with ur problems u may be able to solve them

[hihigh]

i've been dry for like 10 days :P

I don't need weed, but things are certainly more entertaining with it!


I also noticed how i've been going to the gym regularly throughout those 10 days. weed really does de-motivate me, lol.

[TooFarGone]

don't let weed become a crutch


Best thing I've heard here.


Although, its funny, because if I'm feeling down about somethnig, and smoke, I feel better....even after the high. But, I think it has to do with the social element. Me and my friends that toke are really close, so talknig with them = weed usually makes things good.

uh.. thats exactly what i said, except way before him..

[alwaystrippin]

yes u are, thats what drugs are for and why they are abused so u cant tell someone there intentions are rong for doing mj when its one of the main reasons people abuse them......

[Euphoric]

your right. and thats what i was saying. all your problems return once you come down.

since my problem is not having enough herb, then yes it can cure my problems . :stoned:
