Marijuana For Depression?

yea for sure man, im only a teen, and i know people will say that i shouldnt be here and im to young , well i guess your right, but ive been threw alot of shit in my lyfe and sometimes i feel like i cant go on anymore, thought about suicide and hated my situation , but the ganja helps you get threw it, helps you cop, just plain out helps, so yes i can completly relate to you man , something i like to think about when im feeling down "its all ways better in the end , if its not better, its not the end"

can it even be described as an anti depresent? like in legal states and such

I have smoked for 15 years to treat my clinical depression and insomnia. It's the only reason I haven't killed myself over that time. Works better than any anti-depressent I've ever tried and has none of the freaky side effects.

Dont go the pill route! i have been there and done that. if you like feeling like a zombie then the pills will work. I have anxiety/depression and Dj shorts flo works. I have grown it and have grow journals on it so no b.s here. if you have depression or anxiety then try flo. It helped me get my life back and also heled me get off of the pills they were shoving down my throat. Pills are a pain to get off of! I have also heard Satori also works but i have not tried it yet.

I have spent an hour trying to find the article, but Its not my lucky day today. However, I know its somewheres on cannabisculture.com They published an article that was released from a swedish lab. They are the first to show a nexus( direct link) between heavy cannabis consumption and depression. I CALL BULLSHIT, IMO.

I am a very happy go lucky kind of person. I only have one life to live and not enough time in their for depression. I smoke everyday, and it large quantities. NEVER, has cannabis ever made me depressed. If anything its polar opposite for me. Moreso, most of the people that I know who you would suspect of being a manic depressive are just not that when they are high. Most would agree, its actual the opposite. Cannabis does not cause depression for me, and never will. I have to strong of a will and mind to let this world get the best of me and my mary jane

Peace, Love, and Happiness

When you get off the pills you will get worse, just stay natural with no side effects. Weed is that medicine, I use it to make me feel happy at times when my life is down. It has helped so much in so many ways that I can't see how it is illegal. This is what I do when I get sad or mad. I hit a gang of fat bongloads and listen to happy reggae music. Just make sure you are not with people that are negative, that sometimes brings down my high. Just listen to the music and dance, whew, that makes me feel better. Now I know why hippies are so happy. That is what helps me but everyone is different so don't take my word for it.

I've been using marijuana for the same reason, it really helped with both my OCD and Depression. Once I started getting suicidal was the first time I used, and have been using since. The only thing is I cant stop or I go back to those thoughts.....

strawberry cough is good for depression....flos some fire to

Marijuana can be good for depression I've been smoking a lot until just recently because I had a close family member that was addicted to xanax and I kinda took it upon myself to get him off that shit and marijuana seemed to help a lot even on the worst nights when I felt like I had no feeling left from dealing with all the bullshit, but something that is really gonna help you even if it doesn't seem like it is to get out into social situations and try to exercise daily,eat right and drink a lot of water you would be suprised how much better you feel mentally when you are physically in good shape. So anyways just my 2 cents just keep your head up and try not to fall into a habit where all you do is smoke all day.

Well in my opinion herb is great for relieving stress anger and sadness but dont make it so the only time your happy is when your high. because that will really come back to haunt you when you run outta weed or gotta get drug tested. moderation is the word here. and stay away from pills!

I am in the same boat. Depression and Anxiety. It can quickly turn into a whole mess of pills if your doc goes that route. Anyone have any suggestions on strains?

you should try some blue dream. the high last long and is pretty strong, but it wont put you to sleep, its a very social high that will lighten up your mood.

Medicine is great, but just remember that your reality is created by you. You have the choice over everything that gets to you. You choose to empower such demons with the dark and destructive pathways your ego created trying to protect you. Everyone feels entitled to feel bad, sad, and hateful. If you feel your mind drifting off to these places, imagine your mind as a radar.

Blip. blip. blip. blip. blip. You have to be ever alert for the good things coming your way. I know what a struggle it can be to look for hope everyday, but you can't waste your time drowning in the sorrow.

I highly recommend staying away from pharms. Smoke the gangj when you need it, and work towards what you want your reality to be. One day you will wake up and it won't be so hard anymore
