weed depression

[UnViaje]

I know that's a bit extreme but really, a lot of you guys don't believe shit you read about pot unless it comes from a pro mj source.

same goes for dumbass noobs or nonsmokers believing everything in anti-marijuana campaigns

yeah, but theres no merit in blaming the bud
prolly just a lil bitch. soft

Haha, could well be

[mellow mood]

man everything anyone reads on this site or anyother pro marijuana site is usually is so biased anyway. they could have a headline saying that new studies show that if you smoke marijuana while you're young then you will be happy and make lots of money when you're older. and people would start being like wait a second, didn't our old stoner buddy chris get that one job, you know CEO of Coca-Cola, and start believing that shit.

dude, the only bad effects of weed are that it is smoke, so bad for your lungs, and it can favorise a lil but mental illiness, when you have some in your family or whatever

i doubt that weed causes depression. but again, if pro-marijuana ppl tend to only beleive pro-marijuana facts, anti-marijuana ppl ten to beleive only anti-marijuana facts

I used to get depressed a lot, but it seemed it was only when I ran out of pot or had to stop smoking. Pot makes me so much better, it's like an instant, as well as long term, anti depressant for me.

me too, but then i realized it was choice. i wasnt gonna get bent outta shape cuz i didnt have bud, fuck that. i'm already cool, just more badazz when stoned, simply put.

im all about pot being legalised and i'm definately pro-pot, but facts are facts. if high seratonin levels can cause depression, and weed increases seratonin levels, then that right there should fuckin tell you something man. that doesn't mean everyone that gets high is going to be depressed, just like not all cigarette smokers have lung cancer.

yea but what i dont understand is how can weed increase melatonin of 4000%?

i tought melatonin was an hormone (can be sold in pills to help sleep), and in too much quantity it can be bad for the system. but i dont see how weed has been that abd for my system, and i smoke since 4 years. so is really weed increasing melatonin of 4000%?

thats the question

i just saw a commercial on the tv that said that depression can be caused by high seratonin levels. according to beachguy's signature, one J increases seratonin levels 4,000%. could this be why there are a lot of depressed smokers out there?

Actually, depression is caused by low seratonin levels in the brain, so, one J does increase it by 4000%, then the reports are false because like I said, low ser. levels, cause depression.

I think there are a few types of depression. There is depression from some people because they may have been abused or severly mistreated by others. This type of depression can be cured with the help of talking to someone, proffessional or not, and somewhat, "wiping the slate clean."

Then there is depression that is unavoidable, where the brain, no matter what without the right medication, won't produce enough seratonin causing a person to become depressed. They call these people manic depressive or bi-polar. The only way to get these "trapped" chemicals in your brain is to use the right prescription drugs, or use marijuana, for obvious reasons (4000%).

For me, I'm bi-polar and I only use Zyprexa to keep my anxiety down, I don't use anti-depressants anymore. I inherited it from my mother, my mother from her mother, etc...I'm not depressed, we all have our days, but I use a healthy dose of THC daily to keep myself positive.
