help with depression?

[Marijuanderful]

i used to be really depressed and it seemed like i would get either sad or angry alot for dumb reasons, and ended up being depressed alot of the time, but when i started smoking marijuana everything changed, and i was not depressed anymore

i think that if you are depressed you need to change your life style not just smoke pot to make you forget about your problems. what you need is a sport you can get in to. a better job/school and maybe a new group of friends because usually if your friends are happy then your happy. i think that if you have depression something like mushrooms or more activity during the day would be better. but marijuans is one hell of a great drug

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.

I have been on anti-depressants for years now. I will admit they help a LOT. But somking weed decreases my depression even more. And who ever said it will just make you want to smoke it more and more....it's not like that for me....although even if it were who cares?? I smoke once or twice a day. It makes me have a completely new outlook on life. Now I think my life rules. I am happy with who I am.

My husband is a chronic depressive, bad enough that he is on SSI for it. He has found that sativa types of pot are better for depression than the couch-lock indicas. He starts getting depressed and I stick a joint in his mouth and all is good. We both are medical marijuana users - I had a head trauma as a child and have 24/7 headaches unless I'm smoking. We gotta legalize this stuff, folks. The goverment spends $4 billion on prohibition--couldn't that be better spent in Louisiana and Texas? Write or email your congresspeople.

"I think cannabis has a lot of potential in the treatment of mental illness," says Lester Grinspoon, emeritus professor of psychiatry at the Harvard School of Medicine. He says that it can be an effective treatment for bipolar disorder and depression.
