I completely agree with you Stavia. I'm currently on like a 2 week weed binge, and it depresses me too. I think it's got something to do with the weed. I feel I can think somewhat clearer after smoking weed, and like a trip, you realize some of the ugliness in your life.

Last year for a few months I was basically out of it 24/7... it was horrible. You can't do that, you should just stick to doing it a few nights a week, not constantly being high, because a lot of people (like me) can't handle that.

StoneInMiami

well. if youre hight 24/7 then obviously youre going to have problems.
I personally smoke almost every night for a little bit. I dont like to get too stoned, If I get too stoned, yeah you start thinking thinks over and over and get worried . I personally never had a bad trip on weed.I think if you smoke just a little to get high but not enough to get blaster. then youll be allright.

Krippul

yeah.. i smoke a little bit usually.. just enough to be high for a couple hours. and I save the getting really stoned out of my tree for gettogethers and parties.

Howdy all!!!

Many good posts here. Once in a while.. I get sad when I spend money on a bag of good medicine. I'll think "should have used this money to _______ (fill in other responsability)"

Depression in and of itself could be a number of things. I think everyone should be in touch with themself enough to diagnose a little bit of their own problem, but thats just me.

Let's do something together, ok class?

ask yourself these questions

1) Are you on the same page with God? (not my God, yours)

2) Are you menstruating? (if you are a female)

3) Are you satisfied with your current job?

4) Are you satisfied with your current living conditions / family life?

5) Are you or have you ever been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness, or prescribed medication to alleviate psychiatric symptoms?

6) If you are supposed to be taking medicine for depression or anxiety.. are you taking the medicine now?

7) Do you have a support person to talk to?

8) Can you count on one hand the major stressors in your life?

10) Do you drink more than 3 alcoholic drinks per day, or drink more than 3 times a week?

11) Do you use illicit drugs?

By answering these questions, we can identify some strengths and weaknesses. If you come to see area(s) that could result in a change of emotions.. Maybe you need to evaluate them for yourself a little bit.

Try listening to happy music when you're high. Try to always look on the positive side of things. And based on your answers to my stupid little self-test, maybe you need to do some soul searching. You may want to have a psychiatric evaluation also.

Do you spontaneously cry ONLY when you're high? Or do sensitive television commercials and greeting cards make you emotional also?

Good luck! please keep this one going.

You've got a lot of good points there, because I found out that I become depressed if I am not sober for the vast majority of the day. Obviously if it is a special occasion I will get smashed, but I try to save that for only really special times

Not trying to get on the topic of religion, but ever since I started to think about that (not only god, but life in general) I have been very positive. It also makes my high more worth while, because I don't trip out or anything, I just sit back and feel the high while reflecting on things.

I know that one of my friends who had some problems (not really problems, but like most people, he blew them out of proportion) would smoke and total freak out, and I personally think that is because of the problems he felt he had. He said he smoke/drank to escape, which is just a dumb thing to do.

I think if one is feeling depressed they shouldn't assume they are 'suffering from depression', but should try to think about their life and what may be causing this. I think depression (in some cases) is sort of like ADD or other physiological 'conditions': when a name was given to it and the media engulfed us with it, it starts to cause problems. But then there is the whole genetic view of these conditions, which is a chemical imbalance and may just make you feel sad for no reason.

A little side note: I found out today a friend of mine takes ritalin. Why? According to her she argues too much without it. This just made me feel very bad, that a doctor/parent would willingly prescribe a drug that affects one's mood because she is simply a person who likes to voice her beliefs. And now she is brainwashed into believing she truly has a condition, even though if I gave her a placebo in exchange for her pills she would most likely act like she does when doped up on chemicals.

I think its kind of the oposite for me, this post got me thinking though, I'm planing on taking a break from smoking. But for the longest time I've always felt that smoking weed makes me forget about the things that make me stressed and depressed. When smoking I'm in that moment and that moment is the only thing that really matters at the moment, does that make sense? Before this summer though I would smoke maybe 2 or 3 nights a week when I had cash to throw away. But when I was out of college for the summer and got a pretty good job with some very good old friends we would smoke everyday even at work and after work we would blow like $60 a day just for something to do all evening. But now that I'm back in school and all the freedom is gone and friends all doing other things, I've been feeling really depressed. I feel like I'm psycologicly(sp?) dependant(sp?). I also feel like I'm very detached from everyone else socially, like I can't really comunicate with people anymore. But when I smoke all that kinda goes away. not since last week have I stoped smoking after my parents went to sleep and I just wanted to chill myself out before going to bed myself. It could just be the extra stress I've been having but I'm not sure but I think I should chill out on the smoking or smoke less often then I would have no cash anymore anyway. There was a time where weed would actually help me with the stress at school but it doesn't seem to be helping anymore.

no i neved used to be depressed before, it happens rarely and only lasts for an evening but it's closely related to me having a very high tolerance and little money, like tonight i got a little depressed and it's a long time since last time but i'll try to determine what's making me depressed right now.

-today it's been two days since i smoked and i really wanted to smoke

-but i had to stress around town from 13 o clock to 18 o clock to get some

-and i for some reason had to partially smoke up more people than i thought (i had been looking forward to just me and a friend gett high but sadly not...)

-i didn't get high when we smoked but all the others did and me and another was the only ones who bought some

-because i didn't get high i took the little i had left and some of my friends' ( it's ok by him since i've smoked him up many times) and smoked that with just me and my close friend but sadly i didn't get much higher (when i say i didn't get high i mean i didn't get satisfactory high i felt some but i wasn't high)

-it's a long time since i've been real high and because of much waiting and money spent i now start to think is it all worth it....

-which also gets me down cuz i love cannabis and plan to smoke the rest of my life.

-and now as i'm reading what i've written thoughts pop into my head like "maybe you can get addicted because i have moderate difficulties with not smoking

there's some reasons

peace

Marijune:

Your location is the Land of the Midnight Sun...are you in Scandanavia???

I was thinking you may be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder or S.A.D. The decrease in sunlight caused by the onset of winter causes many peiople to experience depression. And as mentioned above, marijuana can amplify mood -- including a sad mood.

For some info on S.A.D. Click Here

I would also advise seeing a doctor to rule out any physical problems that masquerade as depression (women can get sacked by a few of these hormonally, but problems with the thyroid and other easily recognized and easily fixed problems as well)

You might want to try light therapy...yup false sunlight!

Contact you Public Health Department and see what they can offer you. The Scandanavian countries are quite enlightened (no pun intended) on this disorder and provide free lights and timers and suntan booths and such to counter the lack of sun effect.

On the good news front, the Winter Solstice is actually earlier then usual (on the Julian calendar). The new moon is December 9 and the full moon will be Christmas Eve.

Hang in there and let us know how you are doing.

If things get really bad PLEASE call a friend or call you local hotline number for help.

We love you and we want you around...

weed helps me put my life into perspective and look at with a sort of non-biased view. the only time i would get sad when i smoked would be when i would have to think about my life and the uncertainty of the future. you probably get depressed because once you're high, you cant simply shrug things off like you can when you arent. you have to think about them on a deeper state and it mgiht be hard to get away from them.

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture.
