Hello, I was just looking around and went across this thread. I was diagnosed to have severe depression 4 years ago and tried almost everything out there that "could" help. The only medication that worked best for me is medical cannabis. I perfectly understand that it's not legal everywhere. At first, I was doubtful so I started doing my own research and read articles about marijuana. I found out that each marijuana strain has different uses for different diseases. Like this strain blimburnseeds.com/grandaddy-purple... This one is very effective when it comes to stress and anxiety. Just sharing, have a nice day to all.

Thanks for sharing that article and your opinion! Medical cannabis is something that does help a lot of people and I feel that a lot of folks, even if it is legal, are afraid of being thought of as "the stoner who can finally justify weed". I myself, don't use it. But there are a lot of folks close to me who use it for anxiety, chronic pain, and depression, and also who work in the industry (it's legal for recreational and medicinal use where I live). Mental and invisible illness is extremely tough on its sufferers and honestly, use whatever works and helps you get through. We all need some sort of medication in this world. If you can grow it at home, that's a plus! 😁
