I'm not saying i'm depressed but this past month has probably been one of the roughest months...
I was wondering if it's a good idea to smoke when you're down... ?

It pretty much varies from person to person. You gotta find out what works best for you. Depending on where you live, I'd say try going to see a doctor.

There's no yes or no answer for that.
I'd say that if you've smoked before and it's not affected you adversly, if it instead has lightened your load and helped you chill out, then go ahead and smoke.
If you find that your unrest deepens then stop and find another means such as meditation, yoga, daily exercise, talking things out with a trusted friend etc. to work through whatever is bothering you.

As always, the best advise is simply to be aware and listen to your body. People take that for granted but if you really pay attention you'll find that most often you'll instictively know what the best course of action is.

All the best to you...

Well weed definitely cheers me up. It is possible to get depressed while high but thats only been a rare occasion for me.

I have used it for that reason and it works well.. Obviously everytime something bad happens you don't wanna make it a habit of always turning to weed instead of facing the problems, but I have used it many times for depression and as long as you don't use it to hide your problems it helps a lot. The other option would be to a doctor and possibly being prescribed anti depressants, which in my opinion I would rather use the natural marijuana Really depends what works best for you though. Good Luck and I would say toke up if for some reason you haven't already

I can tell you from my own personal experience that i have suffered with depression but i dont think it is a result of smokeing weed i went threw a rough stage in my life because of working my ass off, school, and still not really haveing any money and just felt like i was spinning my tires for a while ..... but here is the catch i did not smoke marijuana i smoked spice gold ( Spice Gold and Diamond - Buy One Get One Free ) and i got real fucking depressed like to the point to where i wanted to hurt myself ..... well to make a long story short i stoped spice and got on happy pills and i been fine ever since ..... oh and the only reason i stoped smokeing weed was because work started drug testing and my manager really didnt know at fist when they are comeing (((

I've read that in most cases, to treat depression you can smoke, but you want to smoke LESS than you normally do. Much less.

For me, I usually have a one-hit quit sized bowl, where I can have one nice fat hit and then I'm done. If I smoke too much, I feel down again and get lost in negative thought loops.

Additionally, be sure when you smoke you aren't running from your problems. Sometimes what you can do is smoke a bowl, relax for a bit, and then take on the problem from a less-upset perspective. That's what I do. I'm a highly confrontational person, so if something's bothering me, I usually bring it up.
(That often gets me in trouble and doesn't always work, people are so complicated!)

Thanks everyone for the advice! Basically whats going down is that my whole lifestyle has really taking an impact from a lot of things....Work,School(college),Broke up with my girlfriend of 2+years(almost 3), moms getting a divorce....lol just bad shit all at the same time...it just got too overwhelming and that's why I havent been on in awhile....

Anyway I did smoke and I realized my life is not as nearly as bad as others...
I just needed a slap in the face from life to wake the fuck up and live it!
It's still sad but that doesn't ruin my day...marijuana almost turned on me though and I started getting negative thoughts but I quickly stopped thinking like that...I thought of it as a positive instead of negative...

I belive it depends on the person you are and how depressed and on your mind the situation is...but it's all good ....I felt like something had to happen anyway since my life was CAKE for awhile...but yeah thanks a lot everyone I just needed some replies

PS(If I ever got depressed I dont think i would ever get anti depressants...not big on pills)

I say no because, I will make you happy for some hours then you would go back to being down. Then you would want to get high and feel better again. Just trying to say you may get hooked and mess up something or make the problem worse. But its your choice

Medicinal Marijuana is actually prescribed by Doctors in California to treat depression. Not only that, but in many herbal remedy books Marijuana is said to have antidepressant effects. Unlike most medicinal Marijuana, which is of the Indica strain, Marijuana used to treat depression is of the Sativa strain. For example : Thai, Durban and Power Plant. Marijuana that has a very UP high and makes you very active.
