Cannabis is probably a bad idea if you suffer from depression. Supposedly, Chronic use will cause your dopamine receptors to (temporarily) atrophy, causing you to get less pleasure from "life". This is the reason that not smoking weed when you've been chronic for a while sucks and makes you irritable.

I would recommend picking up an active hobby like hiking or juggling or something like that.. Maybe get religion. I don't know, I've never had a problem with depression, I guess it probably shows.

You might try Kanna, it's a natural SSRI.. Quite potent, though, so careful.
achra Reviewed by achra on . help with depression? Hi All, My first post here. New to 420 and had a question. Does it help with mild depression? I'm usually a little depressed and was wondering if it would help. Haven't smoked yet, still looking for a connection, but wanted to know other's experiences with it, if any. I'm hoping it will help pick me up a bit. Thanks. Rating: 5
