Well one thing about marijuana and meds is that unless you are close and welll-aquainted with your primary source, you just can't be sure it hasn't been adulterated with who knows what. Speed? PCP? Formeldehyde? No joke- I once had a coworker who was in a drug trading gang, and she was very open about how their product was "best" because of this "enhancement".But I smoked regularly for a number of years, and in retrospect, I have to say it didn't do me any long term favors. I was very emotionally volotile at the time, and never could get my act together to improve my circumstances, complete many projects, etc. That kind of stuff just didn't seem important. And I finally discovered, as I tapered away, that smoking one night tended to lead to an emotional crash a day or two later. Not sure if that's just me, or a backlash from being quite high. But when I think of it, benzo withdrawal can bring on anxiety, stim withdrawal can bring on fatigue--seems plausable that marijuana withdrawal could bring on defalted mood. If that is true, it would seem to indicate that smoking it might not be a super idea if depressed. (?) In any case, not a chance in h*ll I would risk repeating what happened to me last time with the selegeline.
