Cannabis and Depression

Posted by sweetmarie on September 4, 2001, at 14:01:54

I`ve been trying to find out stuff on cannabis/hashish and how it affects depression.

I did a search just now (on this site) and found quite a lot of info, but couldn`t actually find anything `definitive`. This is most probably because it`s not possible to define exactly what effect it has.

What I want to know is - does smoking it mess up medication levels? In other words, being on anti-depressant medication means that you can`t take certain other medications (as I found out when I wanted to get a de-congestant for my interminable cold). Does this apply to cannabis/hashish?

Also, what actual psychological effects can it have (good, bad or indifferent)?

I do not smoke it regularly, by any means - just now and then over the years. But, I want to know whether to rule it out altogether - which is what I will do if it has an adverse effect on my depression. That probably sounds wierd - obviously I`d know whether it has a bad effect or not, and the answer is that it doesn`t - at least, not one that I notice. What I`m trying to find out is whether or not continued use can exaccerbate depression. I hope that this makes sense.

I`ll be glad of any info anyone can offer.

Thanks,

Anna.
