What would you do?, Cannabis V.S. Ant-Depressants Options

1st off, I don't need health freaks tell me how bad cannabis is and whatnot..I know the facts! 2nd, I'd like to hear from the people that are or have taken anti-depressants.


All my life I've had issues. I've had a shitty childhood, school days, hell I had a shitty birth. I was diagnosed with both manic and bipolar depression when I was in middle school. I don't need to go on, because that's not the point, I always say someone else out there has it off worse than me.

Anyways I've been through 5 or 6 anti-depressants and 2 sleep aids. I finally started smoking cannabis in high school, about junior year. I like cannabis 1,000 times more than popping pills. When I took the pills I felt fake all the time. I felt like everything was forced, and my days would rely on if I took a little yellow, white or whatever color pill. Half the time I felt worse than if I didn't take the pills, just because I felt fake happy, the pills are making me smile.

I've been smoking cannabis everyday all day for the past 3 months, and it's been the best 3 months of my life. I've found out what I want to do with my life, overall I've learned more about myself. I started doing my homework, and better in school all together. It also helps me sleep really well.

As much as I love marijuana, I am not stupid. I'm always tired from coming down, takes a lot of money, and it makes me stupid. It doesn't lower my IQ or anything, but once in a while I'll just say something so stupid. Like repeat something someone just said to me. And it puts me in bad positions, for example; I wake and bake and my brother calls me for a ride because he's sick. I just don't want to be an unreliable person.

So if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would you give the pills another shot. I know a lot of people on CB are against marijuana. Thanks for reading my novel!

I have been taking anti-depressants since 8th grade, and I'm now a sophomore in college.

My senior year of high school, I started smoking pot regularly. I felt great at first - really calm and happy all of the time. But then I became really depressed and tried to commit suicide.

Since then I have gone through various binges of different drugs, and whenever I do, at some point I end up falling back into a depression.

If you have any kind of chemical imbalance, narcotics just don't help at all. It's not safe. Anti-depressants are a lot safer, and as soon as you find the one that works for you, you'll feel so much happier than you ever could have been from smoking weed.

I really hope you take this advice to heart. Not only did I attempt suicide, but I ended up at a mental clinic. All because the drugs made me imbalanced. It's not worth it.
