What is your opinion can cannabis help those with financial and metal health issues beat back depression? And avoid suicide by substance abuse or self inflicted injury?
I believe using cannabis for some people can prevent suicide, only because it helps some people relieve the pain or whatever is the issue. This in turn prevents that person from thinking suicidal thoughts or causing self harm. Cannabis would essentially make that persons life more comfortable in a sense. Not saying its a cure or anything, just something that could keep the nasty thoughts at bay. Imo
I’m doing my best to avoid the pharmaceuticals! Sticking with low to moderate doses of Cannabis, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy. So far so good. Thanks for the support!gsc, skywalker og are great. i have a batch of gsc almost done and been waiting for it to help with maddening depression. i just want to make one point about sativa. you’re right, especially regarding gsc, and that’s why i ‘micro hit,’ it to just give me enough edge to get outta bed. for pain i would use more, but weight the consequences, and make sure you have a project going on for distraction so you won’t freak out about ripping your pants open in nursery school.
@HighZenBerg going cold turkey while dealing with a swollen brain sucks. i hope you find the fulcrum u need to keep you happy. its like anything else... if you see a shrink, it takes time to find the right pharmaceutical cocktail, and in a way with weed too. you just have to find what works for you. i use a combo of ibl landraces and good hybrids. it took time to dial it in, but my mood is much more stable now.
peace!
Hmm...I do have a boat load of home grown Morning Glory seeds on hand. Perhaps it’s time to do an LSA extraction?I have heard that taking cannabis while micro-dosing psychedelics has some real promise behind it.
Studies are being done on micro-dosing for people with PTSD. I'm assuming depression is being looked at as a key component.
i understand the best medical use is like small maintenance doses to maintain... but i slip here and there and blitz out on something trippy. as i have said somewhere that as long as i have northern lights and say key lime pie (gsc pheno) i’m pretty good.I’m doing my best to avoid the pharmaceuticals!

i’ve been wanting to pick up some liberty caps, but dont know a good source. you know any? once in a while i need a, “life check,” and they do well to put me in perspective. the micro aspect is interesting, but i’d just question the rapid tolerance growth.I have heard that taking cannabis while micro-dosing psychedelics has some real promise behind it.

I don't know of any sources myself, sorry.i’ve been wanting to pick up some liberty caps, but dont know a good source. you know any? once in a while i need a, “life check,” and they do well to put me in perspective. the micro aspect is interesting, but i’d just question the rapid tolerance growth.
worth looking into considering the changes in law and society. i saw one site that sold different types when i was looking for landraces. high price tags for the exotics but was reasonable for the common liberty. i live too far south to source environmentally.I don't know of any sources myself, sorry.
I believe you can grow them alongside cannabis if you have a light with uv. There are some magical mushroom pouches for purchase. I haven't looked into them though.
I’m trying to figure out how to do the medical use along with some recreational use, so true micro dosing probably won’t work for me. More likely it will need to be low (but higher than micro dose) maintenance/medical doses dailyi understand the best medical use is like small maintenance doses to maintain... but i slip here and there and blitz out on something trippy. as i have said somewhere that as long as i have northern lights and say key lime pie (gsc pheno) i’m pretty good.
yup, this matches-up with my experience as well. When my depression set in this spring; it was shitty, rainy, gray, and cold. I could not deal with the weather, was smoking a lot of cannabis, and was totally unmotivated to get out and do anything. Add to that, spending too much time inside of my own head (which cannabis can contribute to); and I found myself deep in the abyss. Now that I’m taking better care of myself and dealing with the causes of my problems, the cannabis works as a good medication. It’s all in how you use it. It also helps to have some support.I have experience with both ends of the cannabis-depression spectrum.
Living in the northern reaches of Canada, the seasonal affective disorder, or winter blues are a real thing and can be difficult. Making things worse during these periods are other forms or causes of depression and loneliness.
Cannabis can both help, and hurt, these bouts of depression. In my experience.
Regular moderation of cannabis made things somewhat more uplifting, when part of a regular routine that included reasonable amounts of healthy eating, exercise, and social interaction. Normal amounts, and sources, of depression can be managed with diet/exercise/healthy relationships. Cannabis helped with uplifting and enhancing those experiences.
However over-consumption during these periods, in combination with a withdrawal from proper diet/exercise and social interaction, led to a deep depression. Staying home, smoking a lot of weed, playing video games (while fun and highly entertaining), I found was not improving or reducing depression.
Like any proper drug, it is a supplement to known healthy practices. Not to be depended on alone. This was only my experience, yet I wouldn't expect this to be like other peoples experience, in particular with the deeper types/sources of depression.
