can any one tell me why it helps me,and does not seem to be a problem.?

Question

i have be using marijuana to treat my depression and anxiety, my depression started long before i new any thing about marijuana. when i use it i only use it in small amounts just enough to make the depression and anxiety go away, is that not the efect we are looking for with prescription drugs. i never feel the need to get baked,riped stoned, are what ever its called. all the symptoms of my condition start to go away, and it never makes me into what most people think,infact it makes me more active,and i feel more healthy, i no if i smoked 10 hits right in a row i would not be able to do much,but if i took 10 of my depression meds it would kill me. i am just trying to find out more about my depression. i have use marijuana many times to treat my depression and i have seen great results, when i dont have the M.J. its not that big of a deal i just go with out and soon the axsiety and depression return. yes i am going to go back to the doctor again,

does any one else have similer stories if so what is your dose how much do you use. and what does other people think.

does any one out there no any good web sights on the subject of treating depression wth M.J. i know how people feel about it, but if you found some thing that made you start doing the things you use to like again you might explore it to, like going fishing again,and hiking, and working on my house,

to mel 70 when useing MJ I feel like i can treat my depression on a day to day,some times the depression is not as bad and some times its worst. if you dont need to take a pill every day then why do it.

to sparky i have been treating my self this way for well over 10 years,and i have not had a problem with it yet,

Answer 1

I am a medical marijuana patient. I have not used this as long as you have. Since i have started I see a great difference in how my chronic pain is and the other things I was put on traditional medications for. Over 20 years I had been fighting with side effects of those traditional drugs.
I am relieved and happy to be a card holder. I had to be shown how to use this, but once I learned (and there is so many ways of get this into the system!) it was not problem. I am thinking to get one of those bong things. It would be nice if we could afford a vaporizer.
I smoke daily and only use enough for my pain (and other medical things) to subside. Really does not take me much. I do not like walking around like I am stoned. This makes me feel more in control then the other meds I was on. I do not throw up on this nor have seizures, migraines etc.

I am going through a series of medical tests now. I talk openly about being on this program to my doctors. It is helping me!

Here is a video of the Montel Williams show if you have not seen it go over and see it. As you probably know Montel is a user for his MS. This is a link to his show on Medical Marijuana

Easy to get your card when you have medical records on your side. I think anxiety and depression are something you can get on the card for?

Answer 2

That is NOT the effect you should be looking for. You need prescription drugs that make you anxiety free every day. You have to take an antidepressant every day, not just on a day that you feel extremely depressed. You take the same dose every day. You are just feeling a "high" from the marijuana. That is temporary. I'm glad you are going to the doctor again. Depression and anxiety are serious problems, don't try to self medicate yourself with weed. Good luck, there are prescriptions that can help you.

Answer 3

You don't indicate whether this is medicinal or street mj (difference being is that medicinal isn't as strong as street...and street doesn't necessarily mean bought off the street :)

We have medicinal approved marijuana here and people from all walks of life and with all manner of afflictions from cancer to depression and chronic pain, are prescribed it. Some do take this to the max and abuse it (I know of one who does so) but overall the ability for one to become part of the normal walk of life again by utilizing this drug, certainly outweighs any negatives there may be.

If you aren't abusing, you aren't hunting for mj all over town, you aren't growing it illegally etc., etc., then do what you know works for you...if you don't like to take meds (and I certainly know all about that dislike), your doctor finds this an acceptable treatment and you are doing well with it....then that's what matters. It's when it affects you, your life and those around you negatively that you have to worry.

Good luck!

Ditch the MJ and give vitamin B-100 a try and also Q-10. Shy away from the news programs and movies that are a downer. Feed your mind on good things around you and laughter!!! Take brief walks and hum a happy song-sounds silly, but it works.

Answer 5

If its like that he ain't even worth your interest. heavily. while the b*i*t*c*h gets lower back, forget approximately approximately him thoroughly. If he procedures then you tell him which you ain't pretend subsequently do no longer prefer all of us pretend around you. Then purely walk away. The 5 minutes after that fact would be certain the cost of the "friendship".
