The Budfather said:dont use mj as a crutch, although i have done alot of reflectin while im stoned....... but the bestway to get rid of your depression is to sit down and think about what is making you upset reflect. depression cannot be conquered thru mj and usin it as suh is bad and can leave you feeling worse. dont smoke to much either that at times can leave people feeling empty and truth be tol your not even fully enjoying your mj if your using it asa crutch for an emotional problem. mj isnt addicting but usin it to compensate makes you an addict. please dont do this try to work out your problems sober with a 100% clear mind then enjoy your mj occasionally i see way to much mj abuse on this site and it doesnt make thecause any better. enjoy it like you would enjoy a drink, OCCASIONALLY. i see people on this site say that mj is better than alchol but using as such doesnt make it better at all. please do not resort to using it as an anti deppresant as anti- depressants canbe bad. just try to be strong thru the good times and the bad.
RogueDude said:This is obviously written by so meone who has absolutely NO UNDERSTANDING of depression whatsoever. You cannot just sit down and think about it, it is a verifiable clinical medical condition resulting from chemical imbalances in the brain. Mood is directly connected to the chemical receptors in your brain, this is obvious when people take "mood altering" substances and drugs in order to feel happy. Cannabis is not like those drugs for the most part, cannabis works differently in the brain and serves not as a crutch, like you suggest, but a "normalizing" agent and the THC and 50+ cannabanoids you get when you vaporize or smoke or eat it go to work instantly to even out the chemical processes of the brain, thus relieving the symptoms of true clinical depression, especially for long time sufferers like MY WIFE and MYSELF who have been battling clinical depression for over 20 years SUCCESSFULLY with NOTHING BUT CANNABIS - PURE ORGANIC CANNABIS SATIVA's or a really good hybrid. It is irresponsible to tell someone to not use cannabis as a crutch and that they are doing harm to themselves by using it everyday or several times per day. It is people like you who push your misinformation that the fucked up federeal government counts on to continue the hysteria they are using to keep it illegal under federal law. For God's sake, LEARN about the subject you are giving advice on BEFORE you open your mouth and possibly screw someone up or possibly KILL SOMEONE with your irresponsible and ignorant remarks. If cannabis sativa has been working for this guy in his fight against his depression then more power to him, use it as much as your body and mind tell you to use it. I would find a good strain that is uplifting and cerebral and makes you feel like your able to overcome your feeling of doom and dread that all people with depression feel. I recomend the "GARLIC" strain, it is the best strain I have ever used for depression. It gives you the most uplifting feeling with a very clear head and a creative spiritual awareness that I have yet to find in another strain. Unfortunately, it is a unique strain found ONLY in Santa Barbara,CA at Hortipharm, as far as I know that is. I know the owner who told me that the grower grows it for Hortipharm exclusively and doesnt let clones or seeds out to anyone, kinda lame I know, but try Hortipharm, they may have some Garlic in stock right now. Good luck and I will be praying that your depression will get better. Mywife and I totallyunderstand what depression is and what it can do to you if untreated.
Much love and peace from your brother and sister in cyberpotland,

Wanna fight depression? Then you have to stand up to your problem and fix it. Weed is just gonna get you high, not answer all your questions. The question is not "what strain do you need to fight depression", the question is "what is making me depressed?". If the answer is "a lack of weed" then you've got yourself a problem buddy.
*edit* whether any of you weed addicts want to admit it or not, there are negative side effects to getting high all the time. Lack of motivation is the biggest one that I saw affecting me. I had this same problem, I thought I was depressed, so I'd smoke more...and more...and more. Turns out that if you want to enjoy a good joint you've got to have your life priorities in line. If you are depressed, then your priority should be to fix the depression first, then get high AFTER you have fixed the problem. Sorry to sound like such a dick, but sometimes we all need to be told things straight up.
