Weed for depression?

weed will make you happier and socialable, but then it would be that you'd need it everytime. and itll make you lazy. well depends what kinda person you are and what mood you bring into the highness. soo..........................

i'd rather smoke weed than take anti-depressants.

 

okay then, go for it. but dont smoke too much and make your happy mood be dependent on smoking weed, but stop the anti-depressants because their not doing their job. so why keep taking them?

ohyeahh, im not a doctor.
im just giving you my two cents.

 

well, dont wanna be mean, but thats what you get for taking anti-depressants because they never solve anything.

all i can say is, smoke weed, i guess. but dont over smoke and dont take your medication and smoke weed at the same time.

hmm, smoke weed when you go out and take your meds on days you have nothing to do. iono what the fuck im saying. im just rambeling. lol

 

given my experiences with weed, i'd say yes.
of course, people all react differently or what not, so it may not help for you.

i'd try it out if i were you. maybe stop or lower your dosage and smoke weed and see if it does anything.
just make sure to keep some pills on hand, and i don't see how the situation could unfold badly.

i don't know if there's mmj available to you for that where you are, but... maybe talk to your doctor about it?

 

it helps with my depression. i say try it.

 

Yes it does for me! I have to do both though. Neither is strong enough on it's own. It also helps with anxiety. Smoke Indica's, Sativas could make you a bit more edgy.

 

medical marijuana.

 

Cannabis > Anti-depressants any day!

Just don't smoke so much you get super-stoned and non-functional.

If you're going to be self-medicating using cannabis you need to get a really good feel for how it affects you, like literally each toke taking you to a different level of highness.

I'm not an everyday smoker, so literally 3 or 4 healthy inhales will get me to a nice, functional, happy place. Find your perfect level of medication for the mindset you want to be at, and I guarantee you'll be happy and more functional than if you were on anti-depressants.

Good luck!

EDIT:

Sativa's are more of a mental mindfuck high, Indica's are more of a stonier relaxing body high. I'd agree that for just a relaxing, happier effect the Indica's would be more useful for you.

As far as telling the difference, a lot of dealers lie about the strains that their weed are. If you can't find a trustworthy dealer (which can be hard in some colleges, I don't know about Purdue's marijuana scene), honestly there's not a huge difference if you're not smoking a lot and you're a beginner. Just literally take mental or physical notes on how you feel after each individual toke, give yourself like 10 minutes after each one when you're figuring out your dosage for the first time. Of course there's no risk of overdosing on marijuana, but if you're self-medicating with it, you should be just as methodical with finding your dosage as if you were using a prescription pill.

 

Sorry to say, but I disagree. LOL you were rambling but it's ok. He needs to get on another anti-depressant. You don't just stop, especially after 10 yrs!

Wellbrutrin is the cheapest. It is also not a very clean drug. Try Cymbalta, it is a cleaner drug with fewer side effects and works well for me. Been on the same dose for 5 yrs. I supplement it with mj and the two together works very well.

 

Sativa strains are more a more social alert high. Indica's are more relaxing. You can tell by the way you feel after you smoke.
