New Grasscity Seasoned Tokers Thread Trend?

Is it just me or am I noticing an abnormal number of posts all titled stuff like, "Weed making me depressed?" "I feel empty how do I quit marijuana" "Will marijuana help/interfere with my SSRI's?" etc. I'm not sure of everybody's background, but it feels as if there are very few stories of marijuana actually being a positive, controlled habit. My story:
 
I'm a young male, 20's, who has struggled with Acid Reflux disease, Irritable Bowel, and what doctors have basically simplified with an umbrella term and called "GERD". I also had poor self esteem and was depressed to the point of self harm. I had little to no contact with any kind of illegal drugs until I was in my late teens. After hearing about the government propaganda movement and drug war, I researched marijuana for 3 months before deciding to use it.
 
Several years later, me and my girlfriend still smoke 1/4 oz every 2 weeks between the two of us (I smoke a bit more than her, probably 60/40 split.) I no longer suffer from panic episodes or spend days obsessing over self-loathing, and my stomach has calmed down to the point where my throat isn't raw, I never throw up my meals, and my stomach and bowel discomfort is down to an easily managed minimum.
 
Any other positive stories out there? I notice around this time of year (typically from November-Feb) there is always so much negativity and stress.
 
 
Edit: During highschool, my grades were predominantly B's with a few A's in certain subjects, and I worked a few different jobs between 9th grade and now. During highschool I taught martial arts at a school I had attended for 15-20 hrs a week. More recently, have been in college for three years now, with grades almost all A's, holding a part-time job at the college as well as working an internship. Marijuana was not any kind of habit until post highschool.
