Marijuana Treats Depression

    Helps me a lot with my bipolar.

    I use to cycle like a bike rider. One day I was offered marijuana I thought what the hell I will try anything to escape this depression so I toked up and 10 mins later I was very happy I started loving life not wanting to end it. After just that one hit for the next couple of days I was fine. I talked to people did things that I didn't have the energy for just days earlier. So long as I toke up a couple times a week the depression stays away.
