What are the pros and cons of it?

[Anonymous]

I have recently been very sad and not at all happy with my life. I don't have a lot of friends, never had a boyfriend, and am just really lonely. My home life is great, my parents love my siblings and I. It's just really devastating that I'm not the happy girl I used to be. The few friends I do have have recommended I go out more and I have, which has helped but I can't always go out. So one of my friends told me marijuana might help with my sadness. I have thought about it but don't know what to do. My parents aren't interested in drugs and don't have any idea that I'm sad so what should I do? Also, I wouldn't know where to get it and I want some pure drug not laced with something else.

Do you really want to do something illegal?

You're probably at an stage where you are transitioning into adult life, so quite naturally things that make you happy would change - and maybe you just need a fresh start, and begin a new chapter in life. I think I understand how you feel; and what I've realised is that I need continuous progress to make me happy. So I set myself goals and I am working towards achieving them - in my personal and professional life. I think ambition is vital to happiness, the sense of achievement is in itself a reward and motivating, which helps the psychological aspect of the brain through operant conditioning and deciphering rewards.

You could try it, it has helped me a lot. When I was in hs I got my heart broke and went into a deep depression and was cutting, snorting pills, I didn't want to talk to anyone and basically just did pills and would sleep. I started smoking weed and it made me feel good and made me happy and like I was normal again. I get too sick from alcohol so even now I still smoke and carry on about my daily business. I still have depression, PTSD and horrible anxiety but that's due to being raped and I lost my baby but the weed does help me a lot. You don't have to be a pothead b's just smoke and do nothing with your life but you can smoke a joint and then go about your day and see how you feel and if it helps great if not have to try something else

You're not going to get honest answers on this. It's to much of a "yes it's amazing" - "no it's wrong" kind of crowed. No one really lands in the middle and both are over simplifying the answer.

I would suggest seeing a doctor and getting off that crap. It ruined my life when I thought it was helping. Hiding pain doesn't fix it and you'll miss out on so much if you start this way.

I don't think pot will help with depression especially when you are lonely. Honestly, when I used to smoke pot in my teens I didn't much like getting high on my own but that's just me.

If you just want someone to talk to though feel free to send a message to me.

Marijuana can exacerbate your sadness if taking the improper type. Read up on what THC and CBD does, one is a pain relieve the other calms your mental ales.
Ask your friends where they get it, also make sure its from a credible source and not someone sprinkling angel dust on it.

It won't solve your problems, it will make you dependent, to feel sadder when you don't have it and needing it more and more to feel good. What would help is figuring out what you want out of your life and what you can do to achieve it

Lol weed won't help your happiness, that's the dumbest suggestion ever, don't do it. especially for this reason. Find something else to make you happy.

Don't do something stupid like depending on a drug to make you happy. Talk to your parents and they will work with you to figure out what you really need.

Take a deep look at your diet. You may not be eating the foods that your body and brain needs in order to actually feel good.

List what you ate today...
