Does smoking weed actually help your depression or is it just a crutch for depression?

It definitely alters depression meds, not a good combination.

I believe that it also hinders any progress towards any improvement of depression.

Yes exactly, and getting informed about the differences between sativa and indica is very important. If you are always consuming indica, you might as well be a mushroom cloud of dreams, though if you do sativa, then you might be more apt to be productive, at least that's what i've experienced.

Never smoked weed but I know someone who smoked it for years who had depression and he was very paranoid and bad tempered all time stopped now for quite afew years been doctors and things and not paranoid or bad tempered anymore.but think it depends on person to person.

When i did smoke it, i probably gained over 40 lbs...

I've always fluctuated between 150 and 160 and im 5'9, so it's hard to imagine gaining too much. I'm sure it can feel like a drag to carry more weight than you need.

@abstractmuse90: eh, i didnt start feeling better until i quit smoking and eating better

Yeah, there's also different ways of consuming cannabis by vaping or eating it, even oils that you rub on your skin. The difference between the types of weed like sativa and indica is that sativa is more active and indica makes you want to relax and sleep, so it will probably give you the munchies more.

I think it depends on how your body reacts to it. Not everyone can handle it, from what i've learned.

I find it more helpful in phases of anxiety as it tends to sap motivation.

I'm not sure, but I stick with it because it's what I know.

There is weed out there that is mostly medicinal and doesn't actually get you high, it's has a higher count of CBD in it than THC.
