What makes you think it's the weed? So many people blame there problems on weed, and granted, that very well could be a cause for some problems with people, it's not the cause of EVERY problem. This is just a guess, but you were depressed before you ever started smoking weed, right? It's just a statistic that most people who start smoking weed regularly suffer from chronic depression... before they start smoking, and in many cases, afterwards.

Compare your situations. Are you more depressed now than you were before you started smoking? If so, then yes it could be the weed. It could also be a list of other things that end up occuring in life. Problems in school or work, problems with your family, problems with friends, or problems with yourself... If this is the case you need to get professional help for your depression.

If you are less depressed now than you were before you started smoking yet you are still occasionally depressed you need to get professional help for your depression. Quitting weed will not solve your depression. You will still have all the same problems you have now with one less stress reliever.

Maybe taking a break is a good idea, I don't know. It might allow you to clear your head and think about what is really bothering you. I know depression is hard. Most all of us have suffered from it at one time or another, in one form or another. So I feel for you, marijune. If you can figure out why you are depressed then maybe you can work it out by yourself without help, which is what I did. If you aren't quite sure why you are depressed like you mentioned, then a therapist is probably the best answer. I hope you feel better soon, peace.

Marijuana, like other pyschedelics, often acts as a mood enhancer. It can lighten your mood, but it can also intensify whatever emotions you're experiencing. Chances are it's not the weed itself that's making you depressed, but it's probably not helping. Taking a break is probably a good idea, definitely something I should do more often.

i tottaly understand how you feel. i don't think its the pot. i think you should see a phyciatrist. they will help you. you can talk to them, and you also get medication from them. the medication ive been on for past 2weeks has helped me so much. now im ready for pot again. i agree with both bailey and the other guy(forgot sn).

I know exactly what you mean; Whenever I 'Wake & Bake' or smoke in the afternoon and am high until night time, I feel extremely depressed. This happens if I drink a lot and after a while want to become sober.

For me, I believe it is because although I smoke (and used to drink way too much ) I actually liked being sober for the majority of the day. After being high for too long, I start to hate what is going on.

But usually psychoactives will enhance your current mental state, which is why you really shouldn't smoke a lot if you are upset or depressed, because chances are you'll feel worse.

dude.. if you let any drug run your life of course its going to get to you sooner or later. Live life for a while.. as in over a month, than start smoking on the weekends.

Life is the safest drug!!

if you see this then maybe it will help,

when i get stoned a lot in a row sooner or later when i get stoned i get pissed and feel like poo. its not cause of the pot its just that i tend to notice just the bad things and messed up things in my life, and i dwell on them and get angry. i just have been coming to know that is what is wrong with me, maybe its what you do too. but smokin a lot for a long time, like everyday for a month or so, you tend to get a bit played with, i think marijuana to an extent plays with your emotions, but after a week or two your fine. its interesting.

peace,
