I have dealt with depression and I've been smoking weed on/off for 15 years and I don't think it's possible to "cure" depression with cannabis, it can be used as a temperary clutch if anything. Weed can have benefits and medically it's often a better alternative than meds but getting high on a psychoactive substance isn't fixing or curing anything.
The problem with weed is that once you stop approaching it with a shamans or scientists mind you will easily end up becoming a retarded stoner who needs to base every decision on his weed consumption because he's in a cycle of dependency and has an increasing tolerance for THC. Also weed can worsen things like anxiety.
The main issue here is that our society teaches us that you can only deal with depression by taking meds which is also retarded because depression has a source and is not just some irregular illness. Then some other retards think it's better to just get high all the time which is just as dumb.
Weed has its medical benefits and it can be a very nice experience if it's approached in the right way but stoners are the ones who ruin it by becoming annoying addicts with no self awareness. If you're a full blown stoner and you claim you just do it to relax or to "cure" your depression then you should go fuck yourself. If you approach weed with full self awareness then its a different story.
Normalfags hate it when wizards use the drugs they use to socialize, party, hang out, etc.
Normalfags are okay with their normalfag friends doing drugs in parties, hangouts, etc. but if they learnt that there's some neet virgin guy who never had a girlfriend getting high in his room playing videogames and not bothering anyone they will get mad
Normalfags will hate a wizard neet using weed because they see you as a deadweight parasite and will call you a junkie or drugaddict or schizo if you try to just relax by yourself and mind your own bussines.
They hate to see true wizards high and happy escaping in their own world.
>>285800 You're just labeling anyone who doesn't agree with you a normie which is kinda schizo. This is not even a normie vs wizard thing. Normies don't give a fuck either way about how some loner smokes weed all by himself in his room. There's plenty normies who are lonely depressed stoners too and they play videogames and smoke weed all day in their rooms as well. Your post doesn't even make sense since there's plenty normies who do the exact same thing as you. A whole lot of normies are all alone in their rooms smoking weed or taking opiates right now and they are gonna do the same shit you're doing while being high which is most likely playing videogames, listening to music, watching YouTube or jerking off to porn.
wizards smoke weed and have a good time by themselves they hate smoking with others unlike normalfags who love to do drugs in public like degenerates and socialize while high. neet Wizards love getting high and normalfags rage and scream 'you need to get a job and do something productive with your life you can't just have a good time high all in your room' they don't see the hypocrisy.
Wizards don't care ganja heals the soul and your inner world grows something normalfags don't have.
I forgot to add that I also suffer from knee and back pain after being bullied and injured by some normalfag growing up it caused nerve damage and the pain is now chronic but when I get high it's all gone. Being able to get my mind off the pain is something I'm grateful for, I am a neet now and normalfag scum who bullied me are working and paying for the weed I buy :D
I will never be part of society and just get high in my room like a good wiz and enjoy my neetbux while normalfags rot as wagies and have interpersonal problems and die out of stress :DDD
I’ve been smoking pot for about five years. It’s finally starting to turn into a detriment. Not I does not cure depression. It’s great at taking your mind off things for a few hours but that’s it. Eventually once you get a tolerance though it starts being debatable whether you feel better sober or high.
>>285822 >Eventually once you get a tolerance though it starts being debatable whether you feel better sober or high. Yeah once that tolerance is built up it won't be the same anymore when you get high and you need to smoke loads of weed to even maintain a level. It's the worst when you stay inside all day or tend to do the same things all the time.
>>285822 >>285825 >smoking daily >It’s finally starting to turn into a detriment >i fucked up my tolerance you shot yourself in the foot. Don't blame the pot for your own mistakes.
>>285822 Um, you know you can just have a break for a few weeks and tolerance largely resets…? You dont need to take a drug every day to enjoy it. >It’s great at taking your mind off things for a few hours but that’s it. "that's it"? It's like a miracle to have that. I've been using cannabis for over 15 years. I barely have any tolerance change long-term. I've had a few breaks for several months. Once i did a whole year without it. My life is simply much worse without it.
Yes, and it helps, but then I use too much and it doesn't really work anymore and just dries out my body and gives me insomnia. If I could just figure out how to not be such an addict and just use a little I think it would work pretty well but I just have to chain hit the vape all day because I am an addict.
>>285900 Really? sounds like bullshit man, I wouldn't trust that; if there's any drug that the mentally ill would be predisposed to doing would be nicotine or something.
>>285900 Good point. The obvious reasons for that is that it's probably particularly pleasurable and helpful for people with schizoid genetics. Thus it should be particularly recommended here
>>285911 I also read some stuff about how people with social anxiety are more likely to resort to weed use. It's just a common drug among all kinds of loners and not something that helps with a particular issue.
Works wonders for me. Makes me slow and comfy and unsuspecting. I can't tolerate my cigarettes without, honestly. I have a PD mental illness and comply with treatment fully including surgery. I used to not be able to smoke due to a shuddering issue and lack of ability to handle it. I got surgery compliant and now it's no problem whatsoever.
>>285934 People with pain seek out painkillers. People with missing limbs seek out prosthetics. It has nothing to do with "loners", no idea where you are getting that from. All sorts of people use weed because it makes you feel good.
depression is just a normal reaction to unhealthy and bad circumstances in life that can last for different periods of time.
weed is a good drug when used with intelligence, it calms you down and makes you see things in a more relaxed way, it makes everything feel better with no downsides.
>>286337 for ignorant minds like yours that know nothing about edibles it might be a lie. For wizards who've been greatly enjoying their lives with the help of weed and not being grumpy losers f5ing this site is nothing but the true.
>>286340 There are a million ways to offend someone, and your choice of "grumpy loser glued to the PC" speaks volumes about just how much of an outsider you are.
>>286341 it's your own fault if you feel offended after someone mentions the truth. I'll keep having a great time like the rest of wizards and you will keep being an angry loser who never learnt how to enjoy himself so he spends all his time criticizing wizards on the internet.
Maybe take a look in the mirror and reflect about how you spend your time if you seriously want things to change for the better. There's a more fulfilling life having actual hobbies and doing things you like instead of being here angrily replying at strangers.
drugs are two sided blades, what is the point of denying it? it is incredible how you put so much effort into trying to make drugs look benign. this is not fair. no amount of reasoning and research will be of any use if the drug touches something in you that you just can't resist. please stop telling drugs are benign. this is not true. enjoy your life as much as you wish, but don't delude other people into thinking it comes at no cost and with no risk.
I used to be antiweed then I smoked some and realized that shit will save my life and it's done that ever since. I started to smoke in my late 20s, best decision ever. Beats alcohol.
>>286347 >no amount of reasoning and research will be of any use if the drug touches something in you that you just can't resist. That's your only argument? Addiction? It is not physically addictive. Psychological addiction can occur with basically any human activity, including gaming, and imageboards which you are using right now. It is simply not possible to live without taking the risk that you… enjoy something "too much" (oh no, god forbid i enjoy something)
>>286341 The people who know what it feels like to be stuck in the imageboard f5 loop are the least "outsider" there is.
>>286340 i genuinely feel bad for the people who hate weed. It literally puts you ina great mood and makes youf eel good, i don't get people that dislike it. Maybe they haven't found the right strain beacuse they do give vastly different affects and some strains don't work for me while others do.
>>286422 I hate indica strains, they make me get locked in my head and become totally mute. It is an unpleasant hellish feeling and makes me feel very disoriented. Love sativa weed though
>>286423 opposite for me because sativa has a more paranoid taste to it. but i find that type of effect is mainly a dosage, setting and experience type of thing. If i take too much and have any source of anxiety then it can happen. Especially when i was somewhat new to being high.
>>285772 I find growing weed gives me a structure to abide by. Not life changing but I have to care for the plants to get what I want. I cannot buy weed anymore, just because I'm a shut in it's 10x more expensive for me? Fuck that.
>>286562 No drugs are "for kids". No drugs are "for men" either. Except pipe tobacco. And creatine, glutamine, l-carnatine… trenbalone… Pervitin or similar compositions too but only during the winter months when the cold is dark and the dark is long. Not if you take it anally though, that's gay.
>>286563 vaping is for kids and effeminate males, it will always be. You know it the moment you see it. It doesn't compare to the manly relaxing feeling you get from hitting a blunt, a cigar, or a good old pipe. >Between 2020 and 2021, e-cigarette use rates rose at higher rates among lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth compared to heterosexual youth. Higher rates of trying e-cigarettes: Young people who identify as LGBT reported that they had ever vaped at much higher rates than their heterosexual peers (52.1% vs 38.6%).
>>286564 No drugs are for children. Anyone telling you children need drugs, or that there are drugs which are appropriate for children to consume, are liars. Yes, some misguided children who grew up taking life advice from rapsters do use drugs, but those are adult drugs they are taking, because children's drugs don't exist. Propagating such a lie makes you no better than any of these niggers responsible for the declining mental and physical health of today's youth. >relaxing feeling you get from hitting a blunt Talk about a drug for "LGBT". Weed shuts down the parts of the brain unique to men that make him decisive and drawn towards persevering. It completely renders a man docile and harmless.
>>286565 >durr durr hurr Have you ever tried the magical spontaneously aids inducing drugs? Caffeine is among the hardest ones there is. There's nothing so grand about drugs as you claim. They're just tools.
>>286566 >They're just tools. For: >shutting down the parts of the brain unique to men that make him decisive and drawn towards persevering, completely rendering him docile and harmless.
>>286569 Last time I did I was called a "broscience shill". Now hatred and insults towards those pushing dope are all that I post. It's all they're able to digest, after all…
>>286570 >It's all they're able to digest, after all… I'm wizposting while programming at the same time for I am Augmented with substances. Can you say the same sobriety subhuman?
>>287512 Could say the same about useful idiots spreading drug propaganda and how playing with your neurochemistry in unpredictable ways isn't a recipe for mental illness.
Drugs don't cure anything. They only work the very moment you use them. Anyway, I prefer alcohol, for that, because since I'm not a normalfag I have no idea how to get cannabis, I have no social circle and I don't want to travel around to find dealers.
>>285772 Yes. Whilst using cannabis makes depression a lot more comfortable, it also impacts my motivation in a way that seem to make me more ambivalent and apathetic to the (real or perceived) causes of my depression.
Depression can be far more comfortable with a steady consumption of weed, if it doesnt make you anxious, and I find the anxiety subsides once my tolerance grows barely anything beyond a naive cannabis user.
Think about the classic depression tropes of eating like shit, sleeping like shit, and not feeling or being engaged or doing your favorite hobbies, well cannabis makes that nearly as enjoyable as, well not doing that. You cat eat unseasoned ramen and it tastes delicous, listen to shitty music and it sounds amazing, you can more easily sleep, though the quality of rest you get is reduced, its not the most perceptible effect especially in the throws of regular use. But it makes me have even more difficulty focusing, motivating myself, destroys my already poor memory and gives a fake feeling of motivation, yet I don't often act on it, thats why I say it's fake.
Treating my ADHD has contributed much more significantly to my depression than weed has, but likewise has anxiety inducing side effects.
weed is good to meditate, to think about yourself and the world, to give yourself some time to stop and take things easy, that's what the herb is all about.
It helps you to question things, the system, the way society works. It's great for wizards as it also helps you enjoy things more and puts you in a relaxed state but you have to love yourself first and be at peace.
