i think most of us hardcore smokers get depressed. Marijuana deff helps me deal with how shitty i feel sometimes. It does have its side effects like sometimes im too tired to really do anything, but thats like once every 4 months of smoking ervery day. THen i clean out for a bit or take a day off and just sleep and relax and everything feels better. Its not the answer to all problems, but it works for me when i feel like nothing is working out right
