For my depression and anxiety I use two different routes. For dealing with everyday stresses and mood dips I like to smoke a very early harvested sativa dominant strain. I personally like blue dream and mr nice but would stress that the early harvest makes more of a difference for me than the strain - I would prefer an early harvested indica over a late harvest sativa. I find the early harvest provides an initial uplifting goofy spell that last only 15-30 minutes and then just a mild uplifted mood. Often I completely forget that I am stoned but just feel happier. I like to be functional so early early harvests are great for this.

When something goes down and I'm feeling really shitty or having bad thoughts I like to just stop thinking. For this I recommend a heavy indica harvested not too early but not late. If harvested too late it tends to relieve me and then just make me paranoid which really doesn't help when you are trying not to think. If harvested correctly it makes me just space out and not care. I'm not saying not caring is good all the time but sometimes it is what you need. My preferred strain is Goo.

I suggest you really try a bunch yourself though as it really varies.

Sativa hash and hashoil really does the job as well for those days were you want to be out and about but blissfully stupid.

I have found that Arians Haze #1 is very good for depression. It is a nice uplifting stone giving a clear head and still allows you to have a good level of consentration. Its also good for paint too. I also agree with Gastanker that an early harvest makes a huge difference.

lol, for me klonopin and antidepressents are much more effective medicine. I do toke here and there but it will not level you out for long enough to be helpful. I recommend seeing a psychiatrist and getting a prescription. I use MM for my headaches and it helps slightly but it's nothing compared to the drugs I get from the pharmacy. Sorry if this is not what you want to hear.

I agree, if you are suffering from severe depression you need a medicine that is targeted at that specific disease. MM is good for many things, but it's not a cure all.

I agree severe deppression is dangerous, mj is just a bandaid solution.
Prozac worked for me.

im already prescribed mirtazipine on 45mg and lorezipam 1mg 3 times a day, but a good toke helps even more i guesss im just a fucked up speciman of a man. so extra med from bud is good its the only real thing that relaxes me enough so i dont think of the bad stuff. i was on prozac but they didnt help me in the slightest so you might have some idea of how fucked up my head is. my psychiatrist even said if it helps you i dont blame you for using it and it aint legal here in the uk... thanks guys

Totally agree with the others that seeing a doctor and getting on prescription meds should be your first attempt.

I've been on Depacote, Neuronton, Prozac, Welbutrin, Paxil, Buspirone, Effexor, and a few others. Much more functional on MJ but of my friends with the same problems I'm an outlier - I know several people who have tried smoking MJ for depression and just spiraled downwards so be careful. In my cousin it tends to trigger bi-polar tendencies.

i know it works i have been using mj for about 15 years now and it has never made me worse just chilled me out just right thanks guys

everyone's brain chemistry is different, prozac just happened to work for me.
I use mega doses of fish oil AKA omega 3 fatty acids and have found that a good mood stabalizer.
Depression has been called "frozen rage" When I became aware of what mine was I was able to move on and out of my depression.
I bought Subcools "Pandoras Box" seed but haven't grown it out yet that was supposed to be his best strain for deppression.

that's cool. I definitely think sativa is more helpful for me than indica. Sorry, i don't know what mirtazipine is? You're not fucked up, sounds pretty normal to me

cheers guys your help is always appreciated. and medical if that sounds normal we should meet up might have shit in common lol
