Marijuana and depression
Thanx Storm Crow and guys!
real help!
Yeah, I do find myself craving it at times, but it doesnt seem to put me in a depressed mood, because im so distracted by those repeating thoughts than other, possible negative ones.
But, as it's pointed out, see how it works for me. If it doesn't do me any good I wil restrict my use of cannabis, but if it does me good, i will determine the frequency I should use to best help me.
Thanx a lot :)

I think it is never good to get high or drunk to forget about issues you have in your life, that never solves anything. If you have clear and obvious issues that are causing the depression in your life, don't smoke bud to simply forget about those issues because that isn't treating depression, and usually will just cause more problems, increasing your depression. My advice is to try to find the root cause of depression and focus on that, and smoke with moderation. There's nothing wrong with having a beer after a stressful day, so I also don't feel there is anything wrong with having a puff if you really feel you need it, as long as it is in moderation, in other words, not smoking yourself to sleep all day because you don't want to face life.
That's all the advice I can give, but check out Storm Crow's links, she always gives out good information.

Yeah, i totally agree nailhead. But thats not the depression i have. there seems to be no root to my problem, and the thoughts I get aren't what cause it. Its simply a chemical imbalance in my brain. Thats basically what my psychiatrist has diagnosed after 2 years of treatment.
I mean, yes, I do occasionally do get thoughts that set me off, but I usually try and deal with them as you say. But most of the time, it's simply my mood slipping. Happens almost everyday, others worse than others. But i know one day things will get better.
thanx :)
