The smoke has to have a negative effect on the lungs in some kind of way.

The most noticable effect is a mild form of bronchitis that clears up when you quit. Tokers hack, so to speak. You might notice it when you've been on a hard weekend binge. But I'm sure you're right, it can't be good to have smoke in your lungs. But WTF...you wanna live forever?

ur all a bunch of flakes for not having any discipline (control over emotions). like i said, i used to be depressed even before trying marijuana, then after noticing the euphoric effects of it later, i used it to feel better. during dry times i didnt n dont stress the fukk out over it, all that says is ur a fukkn lil bitch for getting so emotional, wtf is wrong with yall. fukkn pussies, n u wonder why non-budsmokers dare look down on stoners, thanx a lot fukkn faggots. mind over matter, quit being so damn sensitive.

eat a dick crazypothead, no shit he didnt say people who are stoned are happy. my first statement was intentionally contradicting of weed linked to depression, stay in school lil soft ass queer.

point is, if ur a lil bitch that cant handle not having any smoke, ur the one who needs to stfu, dumbasses. its like yall never even heard of pussy or alcohol.

I understand what you are saying about dealing with the fact that you have run out and may not find any for a while and for most people, that's exactly what happens. You're bummed out for a couple days and then you get over it. But you need to get a better inderstanding about the fact that depression is, in many cases, a real, measurable medical condition caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and if you already had that imbalance, then became a pot smoker which will relieve the symptoms (ie..self medication be it in the form of weed, alcohol, pills or whatever) they will come back hard when you run out. A lot of this depends on how heavy of a smoker you are as well as dozens of other factors including family history, genetics, other drugs you might be using etc. Then again, depression can also be a symptom of some trauma that has occurred in the past such as physical/sexual abuse, rape, violence etc. so all in all, it's a tricky subject at best that science is only beginning to get a handle on. We haven't been putting a lot of effort in to studying the effects of MJ for very long and little or no objective studies here in the US because of the drug laws and the damned DEA.
And there is new data being released daily both good and bad, on the effects of MJ on the human psyche and physiology. Don't discount the negative info out there as being just another way for the man to scare us off of pot. ON the same note, don't discount the recent reports on the medical value of pot as just a bunch of stoners trying to justify their drug use. Read the data both good and bad and make your own decision which, most of us on this board have already made.

i hear u bonsai, nice post btw. i'm just a firm believer that depression is a choice n not a disease since i had it but had an epiphany one day, as goes for alcohol addiction, its fukkn all bs the way i see it. n i am aware of certain negative effects, but i see it all as a infantile mood swing. people need to seriously realize theres no point to feeling such despair, a waste of time.

That's too bad you feel that way, but you are uneducated in this matter.

Some depression can be overcome, yes, but there is some, like I said earlier, that is unavoidable and you cannot just tell your brain to be happy. I'm bi-polar, was diagnosed when I was 15, before I tried any alcohol, drugs, or prescription drugs. I lack the flow of seratonin in my brain. This natural chemical is not flowing, or all being freed, it is trapped.

No matter what I did, I was so depressed some days I couldn't even lift my head, and no, keeping myself busy does not work. You have breakdowns in grocery stores for no reason, you can't move, you feel numb, I couldn't help it.

What I'm saying is, nothing caused my depression, my mother has it, and her mother had it. It is something I cannot help without the use of some kind of medicine, and I've made my choice

But being depressed because you don't have any pot, give me a break.

I don't really know. I'm entirely aware of the difference between melatonin and seratonin, and I was long before this thread, but I don't feel the need to drag it out. There are very well-written websites as well as a full gambit of texts out there on this subject that I feel can do better than I. I also doubt that the heavy participants in this thread did a whole lot of research, since you could probably Google "Depression seratonin cause" and find a plethora of useful info.

I think this thread has really become a fight between those who believe depression is a desease or a medical problem versus those who feel it is a personal choice or confusion. It really has little to do with seratonin at this point.
