Going back on meds! :/

Always listen to medical advice. Have you tried marijuana? If it's legal in Brazil, it may be worth a shot. Sativa strains are said to be the best to calm anxiety and depression. Very well tolerated, but always check with your doctor FIRST before trying anything. As always, this is not medical advise, just something I would try if it was me and I had my doctors FULL SUPPORT.

I thought the indica strains were the more calming ones?

Sativa is usually used. A mix of the two can also be an option. Just depends on how the body and mind reacts to the strains.

I wouldn’t recommend smoking ganja. It will just flat out dump him in an insidious depressive spiral and will be extremely difficult for him to claw out from. Marijuana exacerbates depression and anxiety in prone individuals especially with these modern hard sprayed strains. I come from the chronic strains of the early 2ks (og kush, grand daddy purps, train wreck, sour diesel, ak-47, northern lights, purple haze, LA confidential, blueberry, skunk, chocolate thai, white widow, cat piss, afghani kush etc etc). I am beyond smoked out. Now I can’t handle all this new smoke.
Dude needs to exercise get the blood flowing to the brain, sleep 7-8 hours tops and eat homemade cooked meals/h2o. If that doesn’t hack it then either check T levels or go to cognitive behavioral therapy/meds.

Agreed. Smoking pot for depression or anxiety is a total clown move. You cannot be a serious person with a weed habit. It's only acceptable for people who already have their **** together and are highly disciplined. If you were smoking those old Js from the 60s and 70s that were 1% THC that's fine but modern strains are absolute insanity let alone all the concentrates and stuff like dabs, those people are beyond redemption.

“It's only acceptable for people who already have their **** together and are highly disciplined.”

One sentence that falls with the heft of absolute and irrefutable truth. Every single run of time where I have had steady streams of passive income (fvck you money) , bills up to date, no debt, mental stability, and even better if I have a reliable sane chick by my side in bed then those were the moments where I had no issue chiefing it especially at night because I knew the house was secured. It’s that flow state of peaceful calmness of having your life in order with out the black dreaded anxiety of the future that lets you savor a deep rip to the dome during the chill breeze and stillness of the night. But when I have been dealing with harsh mental hurdles, alone, no pvssy, and just not improving grey areas of my life then weed just brings those things to surface even more and I’m just hyper-aware of everything around that makes me unhappy. Like you said, weed is only for when you have tied up loose ends.

Right now, I’m ok without consuming. It’s been a year clean. It’s self-control and it’s a super power.
