    Suicidal and struggled with depression off and on for about 5 years, been to therapists and all the such. Would I be qualified? :confused:

    Depends if depression is on your states list of qualifying ailments for MMJ.

    There is a "Do I qualify?" sticky, or check NORML- they have the up to date info for the states.

    Just trust me on this- start taking Omega 3 every day and keep toking moderately.

    (It's more complicated than that, but that article is a good start)

    Thanks for the advice fellas. Checked the sticky but didn't see anything bout depression, so i felt the need to ask

    Did you really read the sticky? Because it says very clearly if you have further questions to ask in THAT thread, not start a new one. We really don't need EVERY user to start their own 'am I qualified' thread.

    Thanks.
