depression and smoking

[JohnnyZ]

That describes the relief I feel exactly :thumbsup:.

It's great to see what cannabis can really do for people. I don't suffer from depression in the least, I'm rarely even sad these days. For most of us, life is so easy. I don't mean in a money sense, I feel that pain too. I mean health wise.

Be thankful for what you have and be grateful for this herb we share.

It was around 2 years ago my episodes just seemed to go away, or were much less intense. Point being, that is around the time that i started smoking. That and it does seem to calm my allergies down a bit to.

I have almost the exact scenario as this. The allergy thing is kinda cool to hear.
I use to really hate mowing, if I didn't take a cool shower immediately after mowing I would basically have an allergy attack(sneezing, throat closing off, itching, etc). So I started smoking before mowing honestly for the sole purpose of at least I could maybe somewhat enjoy it while I was doing it. What I noticed, and my wife noticed too, was that my allergies weren't nearly as intense when I mowed after smoking. Hell sometimes now I don't even have as much as a 2 or 3 sneezes through the whole mowing.
The depression is also true I was never really that depressed or anything I just hated my job. So I made the choice to smoke once in awhile even though I have random Whiz Quizzes(I dilute and also have good pee in the freezer). That was about 2 years ago and the last year or so I have been telling my wife how my job isn't that bad anymore I've seemed to make peace with it. I really believe that the weed has a direct influence on both of these.
It was really great to read your post I always believed weed was behind how I was feeling but it is like you just validated my experience. Anyway I'll quit rambling. Good post !!!

i am completely opposed to taking pills for a problem that is easily and safely cured by cannabis!

trying to tell a doctor or cop that i NEED to get high is like trying to tell a priest that jesus is fake. they just dont listen

what ever happened to freedom? i look at weed as a medicine for myself. i dont see how high i can get every single day i just smoke at night to relax and be able to fall asleep

I have high functioning Aspergers Syndrome (AS), also ADD and OCD, not to mention deep depression and high anexiety since I was 15. The psychiatrist has prescribed me many "chill pills" (prozac, risperdal, adderall for ADD) but weed is the best thing to heal all of my symptoms... Everyone should smoke weed... I never drink alcohol, or smoke cigarettes, Bud is the only thing I need!

Weed does lift me up, but I find that when I am sober and still depressed after smoking, it almost seems worse.
