In reply to Marijuana for depression/anxiety,good or bad idea?, posted by odon on July 30, 2009, at 15:44:22
I could see how a little bit might lift the mood. But if you are prone to anxiety or paranoia it might make those things worse temporarily. It tends to make my mind race sometimes. Also I just demolish my kitchen I get so ravenously hungry.
Marijuana these days is a very powerful drug. I have bought various strains of cannabis from medical marijuana dispensaries here in California and it is strong as hell. One hit can be incapacitating. So you might want to find some way to dilute the strength a bit, through a lower grade of cannabis perhaps or through edibles.
Fun for recreational use occasionally. I'm not so sure about regular use for depression or anxiety, especially anxiety. My pot smoking buddy from college has sworn off of it because it exacerbates his panic attacks.
