primarily I'm looking at something to relax with and help me sleep....I don't want to keep on taking sleeping pills that knock me out, in fact tolerance builds up so quickly to those that it's not really an option!

The problem is that cannabis has different effects for different people , for some it can help against depression but for others it can actualy make it worse is what people are saying .
I have seen first hand the positive and negative of using ganja to treat depression , I would just advise caution.
I am glad to hear that things appear to be getting better for you , I'm a great believer in the balance of things and life is a mix of great joy and deep sorrow but it will balance itself in the end.
psychocat Reviewed by psychocat on . Cannabis and depression any thoughts? experiences? Like I've admitted, I'm pretty new to all this so input would be gratefully received! I've been suffering with depression for about 2 years now including various symptons/by-products of the condition...including insomnia, anxiety, panic etc apart from when I restart taking Zopiclone the best sleep I have had in all this time is after cooking with cannabis (I don't/won't smoke as I find tobacco smoke disgusting), but not having easy access to a source etc Rating: 5
