General health

Has marijuana ever helped any of you with any health problems? Like for example my wisdom teeth have just started surfacing and sometimes they hurt like hell, I bet marijuana would make it feel better huh? And one that I'm more interested about, has marijuana ever lifted you up from depression?

i think it helps dealing with pain. when my wisdom teeth came in smokin helped me forget about the pain.. same with the time i messed my back up.. as for depression.. sure it makes you feel great when your smoking.. but then i get depressed when i dont have it. the thing i wonder about is how bad its going to mess my lungs up in the long run

Thanks for the reply. And I read on a site this week (forgot the url) that said that marijuana can help against lung cancer because the chemicals in it kill the bad cells so they cannot advance into cancer.

I dont know if you would consider this a health problem, but atm im sick (first time in over a year) with bad sinus congestion. Smoking makes it so I cant even tell im sick. Its also the only way I can go to sleep, without it I just lie in bed unable to breath.

You gotta feed your mind too. Cannabis takes down barriers in your mind, it allows you to better understand past experiences in your life, no repression allowed. We are a "medicine happy" country which is perpetuated by pharmacutical corporations. Ibuprofen, Advil, Tylenol, Prozac could be replaced. Look at the benefits for arthritis relief, nausea supression, stimulated appetite, cold/flu treatments. Its a no brainer that bud is all natural as opposed to every single other medicine. There's been absolutely no evidence to show that cannabis causes cancer, unlike those things you buy at the gas station. Its not even that addictive, the only thing that sucks is when someone tries to think they can make you stop. People quit all the time, they're just irritated until the pee test and blaze one in the parking lot after. I have been smoking consistently the same for 3 years, still about the same amount a week too. I don't go to class high or obvious shit, just be responsible. Bud is more harmless than any amount of drinking, not that I haven't drank my face off before though, haha...

You're right there on the spot febreeze, agree with you completely.

Oh and tickit, if you stop taking the antidepressants you'll get depressed all over again so I don't think that really affects it.. just my opinion though
