hey no i have depression, and when i was 16 i tired it and i did a full turn over was depressed and then happy as hell... it works maybe not for everyone

@noahm123 ehh actually i think it differs from person to person. like when im feelin down i smoke up and everything is mellowed down. but i have some friends who get sadder if their already in a bad state of mind.

[noahm123]

@Shmuel93 not true. Ive been smoking pot for over 20 years bud i know from experience.

[Shmuel93]

@noahm123 You know what's funny, your ignorance. Alcohol is an example of a depressant while cannabis is and example of a stimulant which enhances your senses. Your thinking becomes simpler and therefore easy to control a depressed mind which is overactive and fixated on sad things.

[noahm123]

Its funny cus weed is a depressant... doesn't help depression at all... at least the way people wat to use it... If you truly have depression stay sober.

Cannabinoids, like THC, mimic the primary antioxidants and neuroprotectants produced by the body, called endocannabinoids, which our bodies make primarily from omega-3 fat. Endocannabinoids regulate homeostasis for every organ system in the entire body through a system of cells receptors discovered in the early 1990's called the Endocannabinoid System.
