Has Anyone Else Found That Marijuana Or The Medical Marijuana Works Better Than These Drugs They Prescribe?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dallas, TX

I’ve been smoking since 13yrs old and never had any suicide thoughts or crazy side effects. I believe that marijuana helps with a lot of different things. I recently quit to get a job and my moods have been off the charts I can’t take the xyprexa or Zoloft bc it has me very irritated and I can’t sleep or I can’t wake up when I’m suppose to. The only side affect I can see in marijuana is good sleep and I can eat without forcing myself. I just want my body back

GlennMG you can check out the websites for CBD oil and other YouTube videos that can go more in debt about the benefits of marijuana. I’m trying holistic remedies and finding that a lot of things we consume in our bodies play a big part in our daily functions as well. My grandmother uses home remedies a lot and I must say she is one of the healthiest people I know and she smokes her 2 joints a day and drinks this nasty drink she makes up every morning. There are many different strains of marijuana that help different illnesses that we don’t know about. I love my herbs

Marijuana helps ease my mind when I feel anxious a little puff calms me down. My grandfather was diagnosed with PTSD along with other medical issues and I rolled him a joint and he came back for more and said that he would rather smoke than to take all those other prescriptions that he was taking 3-4 times a day
CBD oil is good also marijuana has a lot of benefits for cancer patients it helps ease their pain it also helps with glaucoma. Marijuana is safer than a lot of these prescription drugs. There are lots of informative sites about marijuana that a lot of people don’t know about. I haven’t had a asthma attack since I was 13 yrs old due to smoking marijuana they even have edibles and other snacks for those that don’t like to smoke or feel it’s too strong.

I’d really like to know the benefits of medical marijuana for depression. My state has just approved it but only for a limited amount of diagnosis.
