I don't know how the mental health service works in your country but if you can get advice from a competent physician and follow it, then that is the best.
I wouldn't go near marijuana to sort out your issues as there is an increasing wealth of literature indicating how harmful it can be.
I didn't say I was planning on smoking weed. If it was legal here, I would consider using it, though. Better than drinking.
Just to set the record straight I wasn't doing any drugs but pot when I smoked, I must have about 40 hospitalizations 5150 from smoking pot, and none now that I've quit, a yet that doesn't amount to experience for some posters, just vehement anti pot propaganda that has to be fought tooth and nail, with "information" whether its true or not.
Actually if you're mentally ill, you might be better off drinking IMHO.
Now you really must be high to say that. You seem to not understand that not everyone has the same problems as you. I am not bipolar. I don't have manic episodes and am not liable to flip out like you apparently are. For people with those issues, psychoactive drugs are a much touchier thing. When I go to the hospital, it's for wanting to kill myself, not for whatever reason you have. Drinking often makes me suicidal.
Nobody can walk in anyone else's shoes and we all need to read our own reality. Good luck in working out what works for you. Having read some of your posts I'm sure you have it in you to turn things around.

And? That doesn't mean it'll inevitably make you depressed. When I smoked weed, it just made me giggly, goofy and want to have "deep" conversations while having red, glassy eyes. Lol
Look, I get that you hate weed due to your own experiences with it. But stop acting like everyone has the same experience with it, as if we're all the same.

In places where medicinal cannabis is legal, there are dispensaries that are manned by experts in the medicinal effects of all strains of MC. They are just like any other pharmacy dispensing drugs, except that these ones have little to no side effects and are not addictive. Anyone can have adverse effects from substances that are incompatible with their system, but at least MC is a drug that has never been known to kill anyone from an overdose. There are various strains for different medical conditions.
The orthodox medical profession are trained by the system that produces the drugs that kill more people every year that MC ever has. It's time for the truth to be told....and the vested interests exposed.
We need doctors brave enough to educate themselves without the restraints placed on them by the system who trains them to remain ignorant and locked into a pharmaceutical drug pushing mentality. The legal drugs are the most deadly.

Well done. They don't know how the human brain works and they think they can administer psyche meds? You was their guinea pig - good on you for giving them up. I pray Allah makes it easy for you, and gives you the strength to face life and gain a future you can be happy with, ameen!

Meds are really the worse.
I've taken anti-depressants, the trial dosage worked but the next dose up gave me anxiety and sound illusions, so in the middle of the night I was hearing people tell me I was a bad person and I didn't belong "here", and of course this made me upset to the point where I couldn't sleep without listening to music and crying. My other medication experiences haven't been better.
Sorry that the problems got you out of work.

These "experts" manning the dispensaries have no formal training other than reading High Times magazine, they're just stoners and their whole goal is to get you stoned, Pharmacists, on the other hand are highly trained(went to University for it), and very knowledgeable on potential side effects and drug interactions, unlike your untrained stoner techs that just get payed based on how much pot they can get you to buy!!
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
I don't care all that much that I got fired since I hated that job, anyway. I do need the money, though.
I am NOT talking about smoking pot. Can I get that through to you?
I am talking about a medicinal application of one of the components of cannabis. CBD is the medicine extracted from the genus of the plant that is so low in THC's that there is no "high"......Your experience is your experience and I assume that you used pot in conjunction with other drugs? If you quit pot, does that mean that you stopped taking all drugs? Did you smoke high THC mairjuana? To get high, you must have.
A friend of mine has a grand child that has terrible seizures. So far the only thing that helps is cannabis oil. It has no side effects like the prescription drugs do. And no, it doesn't make the child high.
Why is it that one of the possible side effects of anti depressants is thoughts of suicide? This according to the advertisements. I thought they were supposed to help with that.
Lol. Where do you get this crap from?
Its probably because depressed people have thoughts of suicide, and medication doesn't always change that
No. If that where the case, it wouldn't be listed as a side effect. Not every depressed person is suicidal.
Lyndon that is nonsense.
...these guys are not just stoners, they are as "trained" as any other professional person that makes it their business to gain knowledge of something they are passionate about. I would trust them way more than I would trust the pushers of pharmaceutical poison.
