never thought of it... didnt even know it was thought of as a helping thing for depression...

I wouldn't advise it....as marijuana works on the motivational part of the brain.....
depression + no motivation = ...not good...

Just my opinion....

OMG FFS - NO NO NO !!!!! my opinion N i used to love it !!! can work for some but so much worse 4 others?

My advice is DO NOT try it, some people use it but scientific tests have proven it not only makes depression worse but can actually cause it....

side effects. you get hungry. not good though. did it a few times when i was younger. didn't care for it.

I've never done drugs or mariguana in my life, but I heard it on the news and it just made me think about it. I appreciate everyone's comments.

ooh this is a tough one to answer because i would hate to encourage someone to do drugs. i also hate to admit this. i am quite a stoner. i come from a long line of weed growers, drug dealers, and just good ole stoners. i've been depressed my entire life too. so i kind of consider myself an expert on this subject so here goes. i hope no one cusses me out. ok pot helps with depression temporarily but as your buzz wears off it can make me feel more depressed. also makes you very tired sometimes so if you sleep too much i would warn you against it. that said if you're anything like me you are willing to try anything for just a few moments of happiness. pot will give you a few moments of happiness but then you'll want to be more and more happy so you'll smoke more and more. the point is me and you need to learn some healthy way of achieving this happiness. like talking through our problems and realizing we do not need something to put in our bodies to make us happy. that we can deal with life's problems without such things. but that is soooo much easier said than done. there is also a strong correlation between depressed and marijuana use. some use this information to claim that marijuana causes depression. i tend to disagree. i think depressed people are more likely to search for something to make them feel better. thus the correlation. however, i smoke numerous times a day and still manage to feel depressed so it is definitely not a miracle drug if that's what your looking for. to sum it all up, i would use it only when you can't stand to be unhappy anymore. just to take the edge off for thirty minutes or so. it will not help you much more than that. it will however cure any rage or violent urges if you get those. this is my experience and opinion. if you try it and like it you're in good company. i apologize if i offended anyone. good luck and please let me know how it goes.

jan112 - ur the can work for some ? but its deadly almost for others - even those that use to Kane it m8 - advice should be yeah U can try it - at yha own risk ?

Thank you everyone. I will definitely not consider taking anything that will harm my mind or body. I have been strong for years and drugs have never been an option for me. I don't even want to take prescription meds. I will keep exercising because that helps and I will continue to talk to people on DS, that helps too.

no no and no way, i used to be quite into until it slowly started to make me a paranoid mess, stay away from it.
