Marijuana is my depression medicine!

---

I have depression and i use marijuana to help me treat my depression does anyone else do this?

i tend to drink away my problems... even now. i know that i drink too much, but i try to limit myself and instead of heading straight to the vodka when im upset, i go for a walk or call someone up... maybe instead of automatically saying "i need pot", try to find something else that isnt so harmful

\> i tend to drink away my problems
It's good that you're trying not to drink, but I'm a lot more concerned about a 15-year-old who's dependent on alcohol than one who's dependent on pot. Alcohol is a lot more difficult to let go. I've seen the results of alcoholism, and they are not pretty. People slowly slip into alcoholism without realizing what's going on. Please, you really need to stay away from alcohol, or you're in for something really bad.

Why not just steal some papers from a doctor and forge perscriptions for xanax?

Xanax is an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety medication), not an anti-depressant. It's a benzodiazepine, and these should not be taken over extended periods of time as tolerance and withdrawal symptoms develop - they are most useful for occasional use on bad days or to break a cycle of insomnia and stress.

When I get down, I smoke a bowl. It helps alot. I find nothing wrong with it. Alot better then any prescription. If your down all the time, you may want to consider help. But if its just once in awhile.. I say smoke a bowl.

Of course, the best thing to do is to treat the source of the problem and change your lifestyle. That said, pot is a lot safer than most antidepressants.

Safer? Have you ever spoken to a pot head? Every drug addicted pot heaqd I know is a maoron because the drugs have fucked up their brains and made them a dopey cunt.

Marijuana makes your depression worst if anything. Instead of using chemicals to try and fix the imbalance in your head, it just make you 'chill'.

I think Placebo said it right with "When I'm smoking; smoking put my worries on a shelf.." If you really have Depression check it out with a doctor.

Most likely your having some of that "teen-angst" we all love to hate.

"Safer? Have you ever spoken to a pot head? Every drug addicted pot heaqd I know is a maoron because the drugs have fucked up their brains and made them a dopey cunt."Yeah!!! Its true!

very true

I smoke pot to get my mind off depressing things ... basically the only reason I do it. As whoever said it puts depression on the shelf, but to me that is better than being depressed all the time ... a few minutes of not having to worry about it is worth it to me

But what if you focused on the problem and never had to worry about it?

Marijuana is a depressent so your really not doing anything good for yourself except getting more hooked on pot.

MAn weed is not the answer to any thing frankly even i have had it when i ws really low in life but that doent make it the answer to an depression matter of factly unless we face our problems n events head on we can never get over themNO PROBLEM CAN BE GREATER THAN YOU!!!i know frenz who have been ruined n burnt up wit potas far as alcohol is concerned YEAH who says its better than weed its like comparing a sodomist to a rapist!!!!hope no one else comes up with a Tobacco thing nowlol

Why would I focuse on the problem? I can't change it so why would I want to focus on it

yup i think ganja helps.. i mean like im like a semi nerd in my school, like people dont expect things like this from me and my friend, but when we f*cked up a math test, grain relieves a lot, even though we end up losing some of the stuff we study lol! but thats why u can relearn it :laughing:
