Interesting that this topic came up, as I have been playing with the idea for some time now. My dad is severly depressed, to say the least, and has tried to take his own life twice within the past 6 months. He goes to therapy off and on, but he still has a lot of trouble sleeping. He'll stay up all night, just worrying about this and that, and then go and drink himself to sleep the next few nights.

I have been thinking that he might benefit from marijuana, but at the same time, our family, including me, has very little money to buy it. I even had to stop buying it b/c money is so tight around the house that any extra money I get goes to my mom. But I think that even a few hitters before bed might do him wonders and let him either sleep or just "enjoy" life and not have to dwell on his troubles for a few hours. He used to smoke back in the 70's, but doesn't any more. I'm still unsure about whether to bring it up to him, but I just might. Thanks for the info guys! ~
