Hah. The few times I came in contact with weed smoke I got horribly sick immediately

It's not for everyone. And for anxiety, it works differently. Some of the really strong strains will give you anxiety like you've never felt before, making the actual day-to-day anxiety seem mellow in comparison. I guess that's one way to describe it. Still hard to explain. I don't take it daily anymore though. What that does is allow your mind to be more accepting of things that aren't quite working out. Doesn't give the energy to solve them. But again, the effects are different for almost everyone.

Interesting! Sounds like you can really fuck up when you don't know what you're smoking

If you're not used to it, yeah. There are some strains that provide an uplifting, energetic and happy mood. When it was illegal, it was always a surprise. Now we have fancy packaging with lab results and online reviews to look over before purchasing.

A once per year heavy dose of psilocybin works great for depression. At least, it does for me anyway.

I'm such a good influence!

Those pills are probably a way better idea. I'm not sure if I want to experiment with them though. There's one side effect that scares the crap out of me, but it's rare.

lol, only helps until it doesn't.

I know. Have to take long breaks between short spurts. Then it doesn't lose what's 'good' about it.

allow your mind to be more accepting of things that aren't quite working out

this is 100% accurate I'd say... which makes it a great remedy for the "fed-up-with-the-state-of-the-world" kind of depressed days...

I'm not so sure about how it affects a lasting, possibly hormone induced depression.

I'd probably recommend a therapeutic endeavour into psylocibin over weed

Yup. I just mentioned that in another comment. Best done alone with your thoughts, I find.
