hi tinyshadow
well the thing is, marijuana affect people in different ways. have you smoked it before? how did it make you feel? that would be the best determiner? but how it impacts me and how it impacts you are going to be totally different. and then the different strains are going to determine how it makes you feel as well. i smoke once a year at a music festival. it makes me SO HAPPY that i understand why so many people use so often. i wonder why i am not a regular user. lol. i definitely can say i am not irritable when i use. but i get high from several different people and one guy likes to give me different experiences. so one time i got high and i was totally angry. while at a show i had zero tolerance for people running into me and cutting me off. i had to leave. it sucked. that definately wasnt a happy high. i was very irritable. and you are not going to know how it will affect you until you smoke it and then you have to ride it out. some has made me very anxious. but i have never gotten depressed. pot is a hallucinogen, not a depressant. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
