John,
Thank you for your replies and for directing me to the thread that you started, which detailed your trial with medical marijuana. I think that there was a lot of useful information in your thread, and I also think that your accounts of the benefits and drawbacks that you noticed from using marijuana were helpful. I must admit that as the replies to this thread have come in, my curiosity about the potential antidepressive benefits from marijuana and/or Marinol has diminished some. That's not to say that I don't think that some might notice antidepressant benefits from marijuana and other cannabinoids, but I'm starting to think that one's chances of benefiting from a drug that acts on the cannabinoid system might not be as good as I was thinking that they might be.
