christina answered Friday February 2 2007, 4:41 pm: Talk to somebody about your stress and depression. A counselor or a close friend perhaps? You think the pot isn't hurting you when in reality it is. It kills your brain cells, and you get short term memory loss. Or long term depending how often you smoke, and how much you smoke. Definitely get some help.
XXkaiiOO answered Friday February 2 2007, 12:52 pm: Well, i think you should try to talk to someone about your stress and depression. Maybe tell a close friend, or a councler at school or something like that.Its not good to need to have weed to like control yourself because if you cant get it than you will freak out kinda. So try to figure out a way to control your stress, best idea would be to talk to someone about it.
Sabine answered Friday February 2 2007, 9:24 am: Well, I think that the bigger issue here is not the legality or morality of using marajuana. It's the fact that you're self-medicating for a problem. Go get the problem (stress and depression) taken care of. See your family doctor. After you get that taken care of, if you choose to light up a fat one, then you can do so recreationally, without worrying that you are covering up an underlying illness. Of course, that's assuming you're not taking any meds which could be affected by the mary jane. You can also talk to your doctor about this. You can ask 'what if I used marajuana?' (I wouldn't say outright that you are using it.) Docs usually don't report to law enforcement and may not write it in your medical record. I don't know whether they'd have to tell parents if you're a minor. But you should take care of the root issue.

That sounds really tough. Listen, maybe if you have someone to talk to when your feeling depressed and stressed out, that would help. I mean... a person always feels better when he simply lets everything out by talking to someone , knowing that the opposite person is listening, understanding, and sympathizing. Maybe thats exactly what you need. Don't you have a freind or a close person or a sister or a brother or anyone that you could confide in and trust? I mean, its all just about someone to give you the feeling that he's there for you, thats all. Try thinking of what i said and try finding that trustworthy someone who could help you . But for now, try your best to fight this obssession of getting high by maybe occupying your time with something, hanging out with freinds, getting one of those part time jobs, studying, taking up sports, writing,.. etc. And if it still doesn't work,maybe you should reduce the quantity one time after the other, and like control yourself. Maybe you could sleep for a much longer time to waste time. If this again doesn't work, then maybe you should tell your parents or someone with an uppper hand,so he could admit you to rihab or something, which would be really bad and hard. So if you made an effort to quit this with your own will, that would be better.
Try to think of it this way,does really some junk help you feel happy and high and great? Apart from the feeling it gives you at the spur of moment or even for a while after that. Does it like change things, make life better, make you successful, make you loved, make you a good person, or does it lead you to heaven?
If your so depressed and stressed out, then trust me, getting high is not what would lead you to happiness and having a good life. On the contrary, it would ruin your life, and a couple of years from now, you would be a crazy lunatic drug addict. I am not being harsh or mean. Infact, i understand exactly what your going through more than anyone.
And if you want help, contact me by a private message or email me would be better, and tell me everyhing, and complain and cry and tell me what lead you to doing this, and i will help you much better than those silly crap of drugs.
Take care and think things over. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]

If that doesn't work, do what everyone else is saying and go to rehab. But, I am guessing you will want to avoid that.
blair_ok answered Friday February 2 2007, 3:00 am: Wow. I can totally relate to you. I have depression and anxiety also. YOU should probably get some help from a local rehab center and try to help yourself. I know it will be hard. Just try. [ blair_ok's advice column | Ask blair_ok A Question ]
Brandi_S answered Friday February 2 2007, 12:12 am: If pot were legalized, it would be a controlled substance probably more so than alcohol. It would likely be something bought in a pharmacy with a prescription. No, it isn't good for you, and yes, it can hurt you. It is a depressant, and if you feel depressed, though it makes you feel good "right now" it will only make your depression worse in the long run.
I think you should get help. There are better ways to get your stress, depression, and emotions under control than using an ILLEGAL substance that could land you in jail. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
theymos answered Thursday February 1 2007, 10:41 pm: If it bothers you that you're dependent on marijuana, then go ahead and get help. If it doesn't bother you then you can keep doing it; marijuana isn't harmful or addictive; just don't do any of the harmful drugs. And don't use it when you're in school/work, when driving, or doing anything dangerous. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
Xo_Blondii_oX answered Thursday February 1 2007, 10:39 pm: Although it helps control yourself and doesn't "hurt" you..its actually killing your brain cells so in a long run its hurting you. Get help because eventually the pot isnt gonna work anymore [ Xo_Blondii_oX's advice column | Ask Xo_Blondii_oX A Question ]
