Have any of you been clinically depressed ever since you started smoking pot? Were you depressed before you started smoking pot? I need some information on this.

I have been diagnosed with clinical depression by my psychiatrist. Ever since I started smoking pot last year I have been seeing the world in a much clearer scale. And it's all negative. I started thinking about how worthless life is and why I should keep moving on in this world. What is the point of living was the question always racing through my head. And I had thoughts of suicide.

Before my psychiatrist diagnosed me with clinical depression, I stopped smoking pot altogether. I did all kinds of research online on the symptoms and if marijuana causes it. Whether it is permanent or temporary, shit like that. I was experiencing all the symptoms. Weight gain, loss of interest, laziness, unable to work, change in sleeping patterns, I had every symptom And I am only 18 years old.

I'm sorry if I'm being a drama queen but this thread isn't about that. I don't need people feeling sorry for me. I want to know if any one else experiences depression prior to smoking marijuana and thats it.

However, I'm still growing my own pot. Not because I want to smoke it but now it has become a hobby. I find marijuana to be one of the best examples of horticulture.

have u ever thought u might be smoking
the wrong strain. or even the wrong type
say ur smoking an indica it can cause depression
for u, so try a sativa. that could be the case
or evven just teh streain of weed that u smoke
but idk im just guessing

maybe your using weed to cope with something and you need to solve that problem first

Well in this town dealers don't go by strain. They just sell you a bag and see you later. I always ask my dealer if he knows what kind of weed he is selling me. He always responds with "its good shit."

To be honest, since I live in a suburb of detroit, I think all the weed I buy is transported in kilo bricks. The shit crumbles when I break it up and is ALWAYS flat. But it still gets me a good high

well then if thats the case
you should consider buying some
seeds online and growing that.
who knows it might work. but
chances are ur dealer doesnt know what
hes selling you either.

This town is close to detroit, which would explain the large number of dealers. But I don't think these idiots know what their doing. Some of them thought an ounce was 10 grams and tried to rip me off when I first tried buying some. And for the low, 90% of the dealers are high school kids.(just makes it easier to run them when they sell me a shitty bag ) I buy from only 1 dealer now and he actually knows what he is doing other than not knowing what strain of weed he's selling me. And no, this one isn't a high school student.

in the thread you said you dont even smoke anymore..

well you should definatley get him to figure it out
i wuldnt want to smoke something that i dont even
know what it is.

There are countless possibilities as to what is depressing you. In my experience, weed always acts as a depressant. The pot may be magnifying your distress.

I smoke weed to calm me down, not jack me up.

Just my two cents......... I hope you find joy
