Okay, well I used to smoke. I didn't do it that many times, maybe like 6 or so and then I stopped (not sure why exactly) But I've been sorta depressed recently about stuff (can't trust a lot of my friends, lost a good friend which was her fault) and I've been considering starting again. And if I do I don't want to do it a lot and I don't want to throw away my life because of it, but would it be a bad idea to do it because I'm depressed? Would it make my life better or worse? Not really sure of what to do, and you all probably know a lot more about marijuana than I do so I'm just looking for opinions. Thanks
Your life won't get any better or any worse. It will be exactly the same except you'll be stoned for some of it.
Depression is a bad reason to start smoking again. Sure, it HELPED to bring me out of depression, according to my therapist, but other factors played a role as well. It may help your depression a little bit, but it shouldn't be the only reason you smoke because, in the end, it's only a temporary/partial relief.
yea you really shouldnt look to weed to make your like better... and honestly i take a little offence when you say throw your life away if you smoke alot... i smoke alot and i dont consider my life thrown away at all... the opposite actually... actually not that i think about i dont take offence to that, i lied
The only reason you ought to seek it out whilst on the cusp of transition in life should be to gain an alternative - but still inner - perspective of your situation; resorting to cannabis as a quick fix for uncomfortable, transient feelings could very well coax you into shying away from making an effort to head in a healthier, more fulfilling - but not necessarily easier - direction in life.
Well I said AND throw my life away because of it, two seperate things I didn't want to do... Because some people do throw their lives away in my opinion... And yeah I'm still undecided, how else can I make myself less depressed? And I had the idea that weed might just change the way I thought about things therefore maybe I'd be happier...
That may work, but all we're saying is that you can't be totally dependent on it. You will have to do alot of the work yourself. You could smoke like a chimney and it won't make you any happier unless you put in some effort too. If you start smoking again, just don't go into it thinking that it will solve all of your problems for you, but it could HELP YOU solve your problems.
You shouldn't smoke because you're depressed, you should smoke because you want to have a good time. Cuz that's what's life about. Eat, drink, smoke, and be merry for tomorrow you may die
Correction: marijuana can change your perspective, which can then in turn guide you to a course of action that has a higher potential to attain a sense of self-fulfillment. Using cannabis as an end as opposed to a means is an exercise in both hedonism and dillusion.
well i never said you shouldnt try it out... just dont expect it do be some miracle fix that will make your life happier and such... and coming from someone that been pretty depressed before, i know its not like you can just say to yourself 'dont be depressed' and it will happen... but thats relly what you gotta do kinda... and you gotta figure out why you depressed in the first off... idk if that made sence... im pretty high
Haha. Thanks. A lot of people say I'm wise for my age. I really want to be a psychologist because I'm always helping my friends with their problems
my ipod is taking SOOO LONG TO UPDATE and my little bros friends are being so god dam loud what if i get caught high!!!!? i need to pee
PM birdmigration. he'll give you tons of useful information on how turning back to pot will ruin your life. He is smarter than God. It is true.
Its what you do when your sober to knock out that mother fucker called depression. Sober acts will only help, stoned will only hurt. Atleast this was the case for me. Now that i beat that awful time period, its back to livin and lovin life with some ganja to help me out.
