Is weed a real depressant for some people?

I smoked with my friend last night, and whenever he smokes he just gets REALLY mellow. He doesnt talk, its just like hes chillen in the back of his mind. When i asked him if he even liked smoking pot he told me not really because he cant function and talk and think at the same time. We didnt smoke too much, so i dont think that was the cause. He just acts like this whenever we smoke. Its to the point that its not really even fun to smoke with him. Does weed have this affect on some people, or is he smoking too much, or does weed just not agree with him?

 

I dont think because he dosent talk that he's depressed. How long has he been smoking? Maybe its just to intense for him still, I dont know how it would be but you never know

 

Yea there was a short time in my life where when i would smoke..i would get more depressed then ever before, and i would really want to commit suicide. So if i dont think im doing too great in life..i just dont smoke untill im in a good mood. Which hasnt been anytime lately ..

 

hes not depressed. ive got a friend whos like that. doesnt talk. giggles every now and then, eats, etc. some peoples brains just arent wired up to have fun on weed. some people get paranoia. some people are constantly making jokes. some people love talking when stoned. others want to keep to their closer firneds, or just, as in this case, themselves

 

maybe hell just have to take some adderall before he smokes from now on

 

ive gotten depressed when im stoned before, usually when im toking alone. mainly because then i feel like damn i wish i was hanging out with someone then i start to feel lonely and shit etc. then i get over it and just enjoy the experience of being stoned.

 

im talkin depressant more along the lines of a downer as apposed to a stimulant.

 

it is classed as a depressant more than it is a stimulant...
though both are incorrect

 

I think because of smoking pot I got some bad social problems and sometimes it makes me depressed afterwood.

 

Haha that'd probably do it..
Sounds kinda like me though, but the problem always was, what I was talking about or whatever, and what my mind was on, would be miles apart..

 

realy? weed makes me feel like really GOOD after im comming down...
well maybe once in a while it can bring me down but it jus depends on my enviroment and whom im with at the time.

 

A depressant doesn't actually depress people. A depressant by definition, tends to lower the rate of vital physiological activities. Marijuana is like that in a way for people. Some just want to chill in their mind. Nothing wrong with that.

 

it all depends to me... sometimes i just get really chill and deep in thought... and other times i'm wired and flapping my jaw at 1000mph in "hippie babble".. and other times i just crack jokes non stop almost laughing til i piss my pants... it all depends on the enviroment and people around me

 

i dont get depressed but sometimes i just sit back and take everything in or just go off thinking.

 

when i am depressed i usually smoke weed.... and listen to some marley and im waaaaay better afterwards

 

when i smoke i just kind of like to chill also. put on some music and give me somthing comfy to sit in and im good to go. i tlak occasionally but what i say doesnt make sense ahaha. i dont think its weird if he just chills. why dont u ask h9im if he is depressed?

His girlfriend asked him if he was mad or something, and thats when he told us that he just feels totally drained when he is high.

 

yeah just like weed enhances everything else, i believe it also enhances whatever overall mood you're in. If im in a good mood and i smoke, im real talkative and happy. But when im depressed and i smoke, i usually just get more depressed. If im tired, then I just become more tired, etc, etc...

but it really just depends on the person

 

weed wont make anyone depressed really, it could though bring out their already exsisting depression. maybe your friend is just a chill person, nothing wrong with that. try talking to him or something, some people just like to chill and be high and "savor" the moment. sorry if someone already posted something similar to this i just skimmed the thread.
