smoke up.

say you go to the psychiatrist. and you pay for the therapy. and you talk about your childhood. and you spend time there that you could be using in some other way. and you carry with you the stigma of a person "in therapy" .

and all of this therapy leads the psychiatrist to believe that your depression is the result of a chemical imbalance, and prescribes zoloft or lithium or whatever. i'm asking what's the difference?

don;t do it in excess, but as you said, to even out the peaks and valleys as needed. and the nice thing about pot is that it CAN be applied as needed. whereas, most of the other drugs take a few weeks to kick in, and you have to keep taking them......

i wonder how people do when they stop tking whatever they take...is it like an antibiotic, where you'd lose your natural "depression Immunity" because you've been relying on a drug to supplement whatever chem your brain is low on?
