WARNING! I am for marijuana being legal and in here I explain detail what happens. I did not have any bad effects but there might be some for other people. If you are not comfortable with someone talking, explaining and being positive about a drug please do not read this. I am not forcing no one to smoke, nor will I ever do. It's your life do as you wish with it.

I was wondering what do you think of that?
I started smoking this week just to relax and chill. I know a lot of stoners in my class and having a future with heavier drugs I thought that weed will help me stop them. So the first time.. maybe not the best but I had some effects. One thing is for sure. I died laughing. And it was real laughter as well, something I haven't heard in years. So I decided to do it again yesterday. And it was amazing. I felt so light so happy. All of my anxiety, all of my paranoia and depressive thoughts just disappeared. Because I was having a little psychotic episode before hand that was gone as well. And I put up some weight, cleaned my room, bought food and generally felt helpful and useful.
So can weed help with depression? Or is it just something that masks it like self-harm?
