weed and happiness?

[sarocket13]

I have been smoking weed for several months now, and I have begun to realize that weed really does affect the mood of a person. I am generally alot less moody and angry when I smoke weed, and having had depression for several years I think that weed does make a difference in being happy? Do u guys think weed as a medicine for depression is practical? Also, does weed make the person feel happier in general?

smoking just makes me less irratated at stupid shit

Smoking def releases stress for me, and mellows me out. I just crank some music, and let everything rollover

I get elated when I smoke, just the fact that I am about to get high makes me happy. Nothing really irritates me when I am high too, unless when I offer to smoke a joint out of my stash and somebody says no. THat is the only thing someone can do to be a buzzkill.

mmm nice vibes in here. i concur. I think if every one had something as gratifying and comforting as herb to look forward to at the end of the day, there'd be a lot less unhappy people in the world. What other drug provides such euphoria and comes with absolutely no emotional downer? It can also be a cure for greed cuz it makes you content with less

ANd yes I think if someone is afflicted with chronic depression cannabis is a practical and poignant medicine. I don't think it's good to smoke weed to relieve natural negative emotions though, the kind that we all go through, just as i'm troubled by the idea of when someone gets dumped they might have a tendency to drown away the pain with alcohol for example.

I couldn't agree more. Stupid little stuff doesn't bother me as much if I've been smoking recently. I'm just generally in a better mood.

My hubby is a chronic depressive. Life is MUCH easier with cannabis! - Granny:hippy:

Listen to Granny... she knows what she says...

Anyway, for me weed works wonders on sadness... before i start to smoke, i was a depressive person, i would be sad for no reason at all, and also would be very angry for the smallest annoyance...

Then... i started to smoke... and my life changed completly... for FAR BETTER! When i was a newbie, the mere thought of smoking would make me laugh... ah... good times... how i miss them... :stoned:

Anyway, now, after 3 years of smoking, im a very happy person. I laugh at most things, im very relaxed and peaceful... its almost impossible for me become angry, like i used to be in the past... and its very hard for me to stay sad more than the time needed to burn one... since its some sativa, of course.
Some days ago i did made the sad discovery that pure indicas makes me somewhat depressed, so since then i only smoke strains with at least some sativa in it (or then i microwave the indica for making it more sativa-like).

All in all... weed makes me happy. Sometimes, very happy. Sometimes, awesomely (does this word exist in english?) happy. Thats why i love her so much... My love is all for you, Mary Jane... :rastasmoke::stoned::jointsmile:

I used to be always ready for a fight before I started blazing and now violent people avoid I try. Cannabis creates contentment.
