Hey. I know prop 19 has not effect on me, in the uk, but from my exp. and my battle with depersion that pot when used for medicating deperssion can infact worse the effects ,lenght and deepth(so a quanity,say some days you feel one, and other you feel 5) of deperssion. I use it for my pains and aches(not legally but help my chronic peridental diease and shoulder dislocation,spinal biffida(sorry for spelling), and to get high, but the doctor said MJ can and after long periods will effect your depression. Making it worse over the long run and after you have stopped taking it.
So I dont understand why depression can be helped, in the long run, with mj.
Mj in small amounts to people who dont habbitually smoke it can help with deperssion for a small period, but if you smoke it regualrly before you have seen the doctor chance are they will blame the MJ for why you feel so down, and as some one has said, the doctor will try to give you anything but MJ. if you really want to get mj on percription try it as a pain medication and try that route over the derpession way.
That way us people who actually suffer from this problem dont get givin pot and are seen to properly.
, yeah I have to take diazipam, mitazapam, and hitra-zi-pam,one of each once aday. not sure about how to spell that last one.
These are a hell of alot more effective than pot at tacialing depression. So if your doctor dose give you the card for being 'depressed' he/she probly knows you just want pot, as they have an arsnel of pills to use for depression that work hands down, 5 times better than MJ.
Also some one says insomina, lack of apittie, agressive mind states when not stoned, is a reason to medicate, NO. , you get like that beacause your not stoned and your body wants to get stoned. If you look at those symtoms , just read them back to your self,,I think you see how much of a drug addict you sound like. I cant sleep, I cant eat, I start twitching, I get angry and they all go away when Im stoned.(thats what you put!)/!!!!!
If you put when Im high on crack instead of when Im stoned, you can see how it sounds.
If you went to a doctor with those symtoms theyed take u as a drug addict.
.YOU CANT BECOME PHYSICALY ADDICTED BUT CAN MENTALY AND ON A SUBCON-SHUS LEVEL.
Once again Im sorry for spelling mistakes,,,
Anyhow thats my two bits, take it easy and happy grows.
