I certainly accept what you're saying. And I'm glad the MJ has helped you. A vape sounds like a good alternative. Lots of folks on here have had good experiences with the vaporizer approach. You're right that weed is a tried-and-true drug and a heck of a lot safer, probably, than lots of what's considered mainstream pharmaceuticals.

I'm not smoking much MJ, partly because I simply don't have enough to do that and partly because what we do have is primarily needed for my sister, who's been contending with chemo and cancer. I'd say I toked for the first time again after a two-decade break about eight weeks ago. And I feel like I'm more depressed now than I was when I began that very lightweight toking.

Maybe I'd feel better if I smoked more. This may also be situational with me. My sister is sicker now than she was even two months ago and we've officially learned that the outlook is, well, grim. Also it's summer and I really don't like the Texas heat. And my husband and son seem to be so busy lately that they don't need much of my time. So there are some understandable reasons for the blues. Exercise and more folates and B12 and C can't hurt me.

Wow! Sorry turn into a whiny baby when I should have been focusing on y'all. Hope we all feel on top of the world soon, Filly and Cameron!
