Just as stated before....
It can really help some people but it can worsen the depression for other people.
I feel the effect of both depending on the day it feels like.

Question for you about your comment. Do you mean, when they smoke it and when they are HIGH that it will make them more depressed, or when they come off of the high that is when they will feel the effects of more depression. I noticed as long as im high im good, but when im off it for a few days i get depressed. Just like any other mediation/anti depressant.If you quit taking it, you'll get more depressed, therefore they keep taking it to avoid the depression.... right ?

"keep taking it to avoid the depression" right there, i hate it. i dont want to have to depend on somthing to make my life run like "the norm." somthing has to be done.

Thats exactly why mmj isnt the best or even a good treatment for depression. You need to make changes in your life to fix depression, smoking weed will only make u feel happy when your high, and then more depressed when your not high.

I definitely question whether you really have depression or whether you think you have depression or what. Its a strange problem, and i dont think marijuana can fix it unless your actively trying mentaly.

well my therapist diagnosed me with pretty bad anxiety, which eventually brings on depression. he wants me to try taking some pills before trying MMJ... im scared that it might only make it worse.

hah well i could be diagnosed with anxiety if i had a therapist that wanted a steady patient that he knows wont recover. Of course he doesnt want you to try MMJ. They want you to be dependant on pills for the rest of your life. Pills that are physically addicting, no less.

I dont want to sound overly harsh, but start trying to think for yourself. Do you really have all these problems he says you do?
