Depression

Yeah but he said without drugs...now since your mind has its own meds, that is likely cool with him.

Problem with even weed is then your depend on it and it just clouds up the problem and when the weed is all gone, your problem re appears--sometimes worst.

I don't believe medical weed is allowed where he lives too, so he might even get busted, then he would really be down, lol

I think the OP might mean not wanting to do SSRI's. If you're bipolar, medication will be the only effective option. However, simple depression isnt something that necessarily requires medication(depending upon the severity)

I will say, i've been on SSRI's and while they can be helpful(and did help in a greatly tangible way), the side effects suck.
