    No, it makes me sadder if I'm sad.

    to be honest, not sure myself.
    i've heard good arguements debating both sides.

    but me, it makes me happy. even if i'm sad.

    When sober, I'm depressed as fuck.
    No, not because I dont have any weed to smoke. :D

    but when I smoke it's like everything is happy.
    yesterday I just sat in a park watched people play basketball and just listened to the birds chirping.
    I was as happy as could be.

    Smoking weed definately makes me a happier person.

    I smoke to alleviate my depression. meds make me sick anyway. it helps me see the broader spectrum of life, and my place in it. I tend to get bad nightmares if i don't smoke, and those lead into depression and anxiety/ panic attacks.

    after the mountains of shit ive been through, i deal with depression differently than most people.

    i pretty much stopped having problems with being depressed after i started smoking weed. i haven't really stopped smoking since, and i haven't been depressed.

    it helps me..
    it's nice to just relax and smoke to take your mind off of being sad.

    imo it can help when you're high sometimes, but overall it promotes anxiety. when you stop smoking you'll just be more depressed because you're relying on it to deal with depression. and some people even get negative thoughts when they're high, like me

    Kinda, not really...but I do get depressed if I dn't smoke for a while.

    and yeah well last night I was sad cause my friend got put in rehab (wtf like all my friends are being put in rehab...) and I just smoked to take my mind off it cause I knew otherwise I'd be sad for the rest of the night. But like as far as long term depression and whatnot it doesn't really help me.
