weed depression
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.

Read the data both good and bad and make your own decision which, most of us on this board have already made.bonsaiguy Reviewed by bonsaiguy on . weed depression 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?
