    I was suffering from heavy social anxiety (I was almost unable to talk to people, thats almost gone), depressions(suicidal) and paranoia
    Then I started using cannabis to help me with my problems and it did, I enjoyed life for like a year.
    But nowadays there more meth then weed on the streets(weed is illegal in my country) and I failed to find any indica so I end up 2 months without weed. I pretty much lost my sanity cuz I didnt sleep from the stress and everything and end up on pills(antidepressants) but they dont really help me that much with my depressions and they totaly dont help me with my anxiety. Its almost like life lost all sence without cannabis, I dont want to live and I dont enjoy living. And Im sober for 2 months and been smoking before  only like 1,5 year.
    Is it adiction or is it that weed just helped me so much that it will be hard to find anything like it.

    You can be metally addicted to it if you reli on it. But its not addictive in the sense you can't go without it.......

    Well go change your origional post lol

    Once you get a 2 day window between you and your last smoke, you realize just how non addictive it is. If weed is addictive, it has the easiest detox period of all time. Of course, you're gonna want it mentally. But after a couple days with some discipline it's pretty easy to kick if that's the route you need to go. I'd compare it to something along the lines of porn addiction.

    Porn addiction is way worse and leaves you a lot more desperate.
     
    then again everyone has different addictive potential. in a sense it is what guides us through life as we choose what we wish to gain and chase it.

    I agree totally. It's just the closest I can think of as far as mental addiction with no physical downsides.
     
    Edit: and the desperation level varies with each user.

    I'd say it's harder to kick coffee than weed. Absolutely harder to quit nicotine. Weed is just tough to quit during times when you are bored, or tired after work and want to smoke. But nothing that a strong mind can't get over.

    It sounds like your problems simply came back after you stopped consuming cannabis, most likely becuase cannabis was improving your symptoms. CBD is an antipsychotic so I'd reccomend finding more indica, if you can't find any on the street check out the deepweb. Much more effective and fewer side effects than antidepressants from my personal experiences.
     
    I wouldn't say that you are addicted, but rather cannabis is solving your problems so therefore when you stop using something that is solving your problems, the problems return.

    Many people replace antidepressants with weed and have excellent results. It sounds like in your case, you actually need it as medication. If it improves your quality of life don't stop. It's cliche for us to call it medicine, but in a lot cases it truly is.

    I've heard both versions: that weed IS NOT physically addictive, and that it IS. 
    The second version-that MJ is physically addictive-is rather exotic, I've read it maybe a couple of times, while I heard a million times that it is NOT. From my experience, I don't have any physical addiction, but definitely it is psychologically addictive.

    I also always used it as a medication. Always after work and try to meditate and calm down, no bongs at parties n shit.

    I've read what you have said. And if it works then go for it. As people have said before me it can help.
