Marijuana

Are you on meds? If so, check out the interaction profiles.


Cannibis shouldn't cause too many problems, but it might. If you are bipolar for example.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean "interaction profiles"

I'm pretty sure it can help people with glaucoma, but i'm not sure how. This is an easy subject to search on the web, if you havent tried it yet.

Let me tell you all something it should be used in medical purposes only... The reason why I say that is because my father did drugs and now he has ruined my family stay away from drugs they are stupid you don't need them listen to me....Drugs are for no good low down losers who can't keep a job so they need something to "relax" them grow up this is life you can't always have something to depend on....Don't ruin your life or someone elses

I feel that medical marijuana is o.K. Under certain circumstances but @ this time it is getting out of control, dr's. Are feeding pot heads. There was a dr(?) that got busted a while back that was selling medical marijuana certificates over the internet.
There was also a special on tv not too long ago that showed how much worse the mj is now compared to the 1960's and it is cut with so much toxic chemical such as meth and bad stuff.

I am not sure how effective marijuana is when it comes to treating depression, but I imagine it's the same as any other drug. Different people are going to have different responses.

I believe medical marijuana can be beneficial under the right circumstances and under a doctor's supervision. It seems a lot of people who use pot to cope with depression are self-medicating. This is not a good idea, especially since it can do far more damage than good.

Marijuana is a depressant. It can't help depression.

1. Eric, those are some pretty harsh words. You shouldn't be passing judgement on people in here.
2. Marijuana is not a depressant. It is a hallucinagenic.
3. You can't put marijuana in the same catagory as cocaine, heroin, ect. It's not a manufacture substance. If so you should label alcohol and ciggettes as well. I can say this much. Alcohol is 10 times worst than any weed.
4. I have self medicated my depression with weed for many years. Without it I would probably be dead. I had to go through alot of bad crap at a very young age causing me to grow up way to quick. Later leading to suicidal thoughts. Weed just makes me not think about what bothers me. I don't drink or do any other drugs. Just pot.

Wow!!! I hope you understand that some perceptions of cannabis are distorted and uneducated!

That being said, I feel I am very well educated on this subject! :wink:

i have been depressed on and off throughout my life. I didnot start smoking to ward off depressive thoughts. Though as this bout of anviety and depression set in this year in full and devestating effect...I have used cannabis to deter my thoughts from romping down a fast and messy path.

What I am saying, is do not rely on cannabis to "cure" you. Because it won't by any means. But, if you are a sufferer of obsessive, scary thoughts. If you feel a need for something to relax you, perhaps to help elate your feelings, to distract your mind...I feel that cannabis may indeed have some positive effects for you.

Though, as is with every substance that is put into the body, cannabis does not react with every person in the same way. And, depressive thoughts, and sometimes anxious thoughts still can surface.

My thoughts are this is a natural beautiful plant, given to us by our creator, to use (not abuse) to bring us higher, and closer to our earth, ourselves, and all that exists.
(if this sounds like hippy-crap....Then disregaurd everything I said, and buzz off :mrgreen: )
good day to you

Fist canabis is not a depressant, secondly its not in general a hallucinogenic drug (except in the odd variety), and thirdly it can cuase schizophrenia and paranoia which I know becuase I have had sympoms of schizophrenia and was strongly advised not to use it.

Weed is apparently really good for people with physical pain. But i'd doubt that it would help someone with depression. I mean with my depression I felt unmotivated and sluggish and this is only my reaction to weed but most of the time it definatly doesn't give me energy, it makes me mellow and less likely to get up. Probably not great for depression, but I reckon that weed can be used medically and recreationally (in major moderation) and not medical question you up. It's only when you start to abuse the drug, when it starts to ruin people's lives.

Oh and I totally agree that alcohol is so much worse than weed it is a very very scary drug and one that is socially accepted to binge on. Nothing is scarier than legal drugs.....Advertising is so manipulative and we don't even realise it.

Eric,just because your dad had a drug problem does not mean marijuana is bad.Your dad chose to do the drugs so it is your fathers fault for ruining your family,only he had the power to stop it (not trying to be disrespectful)

i never use to smoke and them one day I tried it.If you smoke daily,all day long it is very much so a depressant,but say if you smoke only once ir twice a week or just when you are stressed it relieves your stress.And it does help you sleep and help your apetite.

Oh and by the way,i am not a loser and I have a very good job working 40 hrs a week,and I am not lazy!

It worked for me--on the depression, but when I was without it--more depression than originally.


It worked for a pain reliever--i had arthritis in my knees hurt every day-- only time I had relief was on marijuanna.


It made me so happy---i did get energy from it--my friends thought I was crazy--i smoked only the best though!!


My excessive use--turned to a horrible anxiety attack--and I had to stop completely. 11 years mentally addicted to pot.


They use for kemo--helps pple eat
they use for glocoma(sp)--
they use for pain relief--
and possibly for pple who cant sleep--
