A new study from Germany found that in states with legalized medical marijuana programs the suicide rate has gone done by almost 5 percent in the total suicide rate, 11 percent reduction in males aged 20 to 29 and a 9 percent reduction in 30 to 39 year old males. "The strong association between alcohol consumption and suicide related outcomes found by previous researchers (Markowitz et al. 2003; Carpenter 2004; Sullivan et al. 2004; Rodriguez Andres 2005; Carpenter and Dobkin 2009) raises the possibility that medical marijuana laws reduce the risk of suicide by decreasing alcohol consumption." http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2012/02/marijuana_suicide_medical_states_california.php
Right. But Marijuana is known to help with depression and considering suicide can stem from depression it makes sense. But IMO if you're prone to frequent bouts of depression/suicidal thoughts heavy consumption of Marijuana could make it worse. About a year ago I read something stating that for smokers that smoke to help with depression the "sweet spot is only smoking once every 2 days maybe once a day". But everybody is different so yeah.
Yeah but in terms of suicide and depression, physically feeling good doesn't play that big of a role, this is more on the effects on the brain.
eh i think that depends on the individual though. depends on the individual's interpretation of those effects? idk
When I used to be really depressed like two years ago, marijuana helped me out SO much. I believe it.
