I only smoke a 1 splif @ the weekend since 2 years now...im milles better at work, even better in my work out....so defo weed can be w/e buzz but not every day habit.

alot of my mates smoke week or hash on daily bases and they hold very good jobs, so i think each to thier own.

I hope all work out fine with your mate

Ive been smoking everyday for a year now and my grades have improved and i dont feel depressed at all. I dont think it has the same effect on everyone tho.
Smoking weed and taking anxiety pills at the same time might be dangerous or cause a weird high. This can be caused due to the opposite effects of the two drugs.
I'd say your friend should visit the neurologist .

I totally agree with excercises... that always helps mind and body. Personally, I?d like to add some reiki sessions.... believe me, it works... and btw, it?s no religion shit...

Re: weed + anxiety + depression??

several key issues here in that she has been on psychopharm for many years due to anxiety (could be other issues too?). The interactions between those drugs and other substances could defo be a big issue (depending on what they are) In the past (?currently) she has been into cocaine. Weed is likely to less of an issue than these. But it can cause panic in many people. Alcohol is also a depressant (despite what many people think).

Re: weed + anxiety + depression??

i have a friend who has bad anxiety problems. she has been on meds since high school, which she says helps a lot. when she graduated college she delved more into weed and coke as well as alcohol... she was just working at a bar... so she was partying too much. when i found out i helped her get out of that shit and she found a job she loves. last i saw her we went to a concert, drank a good bit and she smoked as well (my job keeps me from doing that). but she was saying how she loves it cause it calms her down... even with meds the anxiety gets to her. i dont know what to say. she has said shit like she does not feel any side affects from weed... i know that drugs and alcohol are supposed to make anxiety even worse on the come down... but she says weed isnt bad...

well she hasnt returned a call from me in a while, and the only time she does that is when she is getting into drugs and feels depressed and doesnt want to talk to people. especially me cause she knows i care and would be disappointed if i knew she was smoking again. her job now is super busy, so that could be it... but shes always busy... i only dont hear from her when she is depressed. so i dont know... have people had success being able to smoke and feel fine? i know i never did.... i would feel shitty. but i never suffered from anxiety. i worry about her (i think i am one of the few who checks up on her too)... dont know what to think or say. its easy to say dont smoke, youll feel better, but i dont suffer the same as her....
opinions?

My mind runs a million miles a minute when I'm stoned. I get anxious as hell when baked. Although when I've drank and smoked a little after or vice versa, my anxiety decreases big time.
