pot and depression
Posted: 05-19-08 10:07am

For years I smoked pot for depression. I needed more and more, which caused me to lose my drive, decision making, memory, and status in life. I smoked way too much. This was 30 years agon. Now I've been depressed for over a year, and my meds are not working.

My depression is so bad that I tried pot again. It worked fine, but now it takes more and more to feel the effects. This is not going to work. Sticking with prescribed drugs is going to be much safer for me. I need to see my doctor since prescribed drugs are not killing the depression.

studies seem to show that depression is among the long- term "side effects" of marijuana (that is, if used often/ much), so is loss of memory as updoewnman said. It might even cause psycosis.

So if you are to medicate yourself with it, please keep in mind that "all things are good in a certain ammount" or however you say that over there.

I think the negatives outway the positives after long term use.
