woody allen said that making a right turn on a red light is considered 'culture' in california...
another somewhat unique cultural characteristic of california is that we have legally prescribed marijuana.
i've been reading quite a bit on the use of marijuana in treating depression. it seems to be split down the middle as with most if not all psych meds. the one consistent fact seems to be getting the correct strain of mj and using less not more when treating anxiety/depression. meaning, not looking to get 'high' or euphoric, but just a smoke or two to elevate one's mood.
i have smoked in the past. not a lot. but, i can tell you i felt better on weed than the effexor, wellbutrin, celexa, remeron, cymbalta, abilify and ect that i have tried over the past 2 years.
i am going tomorrow to get a marijuana medical card. then, go to a state run dispensary which has a huge variety of marijuana strains. there are specific strains for the treatment of depression. i'm a little nervous about this, but it can't be worse than having ect...
so, my question is; anybody try legally prescribed marijuana for depression? not asking about stuff bought 'off the street.' that is a completely different beast.
thanks for any replies!
