    My sister has dealt with TERRIBLE depression her entire life. She's tried everything from pills, to shock therapy and even long term hospitalization. Nothing has worked. Her life is literally ruined because of this shit. I am a Colorado MMJ patient and have found my own success and have found others who report the same reasons and others
     
    I am working to find as many scholarly articles about MMJ and depression or MMJ as an alternative to anti depressants as possible to share with her. But I am hoping to source for more. If you know of some solid 3rd party research (nothing from a pro-mmj organization, dont want it to appear influenced) please share them. I am working to make a case to her that this could be a legit option, if done right.
     
    I don't my sister pumped full of drugs and shocked with electricity any more, please help.

    My "Granny Storm Crow's List" has everything you need!  Check out the bottom of my sig, or just PM me your email. I will send you back a FREE, huge PDF with links to studies from PubMed and medical journals. The less scientific news articles and such are marked as news, Like this one is (READ IT!)-
     
    Omega-3 deficiency disrupts cannibinoid receptor function in brain        (news – 2011)
    http://www.wellsphere.com/general-medicine-article/omega-3-deficiency-disrupts-cannibinoid-receptor-function-in-brain/1347465
     
    When there is only the abstract available, it too is marked-
     
    Nutritional omega-3 deficiency abolishes endocannabinoid-mediated neuronal functions.
    (abst – 2011)           http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21278728
     
    As are the full studies-
     
    Antidepressant-like effect of delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol and other cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis sativa L.       (full – 2010)  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866040/?tool=pubmed
     
    Get her on Omega 3! That first news article and the abstract explain why! The new List is now over 1,200 pages of links! The "Depression" section alone has 6 pages of links! I am sure you will find what you need in my List!
     
    If she has worries about THC, CBD might do the trick for her. Since you are in Colorado, you should be able to find High CBD strains.
     
    Multiple mechanisms involved in the large-spectrum therapeutic potential of cannabidiol in psychiatric disorders.       (abst  – 2012)        http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23108553
     
    FYI-  Anything with a "ncbi" in the URL is from PubMed.
     
    Hope to hear from you soon!
     
    Granny
