    Marijuana A Stimulant - Marijuana.com

    That all i can find on google. Although its not scientific. I know that its right as marijuana is used to treat depression. I just forgot where i got the piece of information from.

    Its propaganda BS
    Dude - Im 35, Ive smoked since I was 14. I quit for 2 years and ended up on Zoloft for depression. It sucked. Ive never felt so much relief as when I finally took a nice pull on some killer. One hit and it was like - YESSSS THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING!!!
    3 years later and I no longer take pharmas, I take cannabis. It works well for me, it may not for you. In my personal experience, its been a life saver - Litterally.

    When someone says cannabis is a depressant, they aren't saying (unless they're misusing the term) it will cause you to become depressed, they're saying it slows down certain functions of your brain while under the influence. Basically they're saying it slows down your reaction time, (mildly) sedates you... but imo it's very reliant on the strain you're smoking as I've had sativas that made me much more energetic.

    Marijuana is classified as a hallucinogenic, but it's truly a bit of everything.

    Works different on each individual, my opinion is its a stimulant. Your happy as hell and your mind wonders like mad (Hallucinogenic)

    You want studies on the effect of cannabis on depression? I got 'em! Click the first link in my sig and scroll down to "DEPRESSION". You'll find enough to keep you reading for quite a while.

    Cannabis has dozens of substances with medical value. To classify the plant as sedative or stimulant does not make sense. Cannabis has compounds with sedative actions (CBD) and also a stimulant (THC) action.

    If you consume whole cannabis by ingestion or inhalation, the effects you get depend on the amounts and ratios of the canibinoids in that medicine.

    I see it as look at how cannabis combines all these aspects into the perfect drug (kind of a drug(a drug in the same regard that advil is(implying its beneficial properties)))
