i'm so depression right now i don't like my life at all i cnan't be with the people i care about the most cuz of john and ginger mccarty

You're the douche who goes out of your own way to be a douche. Everytime someone posts something that isn't to your immediate liking you attempt to belittle them. Nice.

but fail (like 3 times now)

Not all depression is to that extent. It's varied and different and it isn't always a chemical imbalance.

You don't seem to listen very well. sigh.

And there are Objective opinions and Subjective opinions. Objective opinions are tangible and are usually considered "truth". Subjective opinions are but one person's thoughts and are not always "true". So, yes, opinions can be incorrect. Stop being a douche.

Anyway, Depression is not caused by sitting around all day doing nothing. That's called boredom. Depression is not boredom. I've been clinically depressed for 10 years, and I've been hospitalized for it, so I know.

You'd think after being lectured by anti-depressant commercials constantly, people would know at least a little bit about depression by now.

It's their opinion and opinions are not incorrect. stop being a troll.

True sometimes depression can be a chemical imbalance, but if you do nothing with your life and just lie in bed all day, it will make you depressed. If you have a job or do something that keeps your mind so busy that you lose yourself in it, it will make you feel better.

lol yea ur right that alot of this is based on that dare bs, but can u blame me? i mean they've only been hammering that crap into my head since kindergarden...it's hard to think otherwise. well i may never have smoked it but like i told u before; u legalize it and i'll think about trying it. lol

Since he seems to have developed a dependency then yea, of course the weed isn't gonna affect him too much. at this point what would show how weed has truly messed him up would be to take it away for a week or two and see how normally he can function then.

Okay, look. How are you missing this? I just said he isn't dependant at all. He smokes because he enjoys the way it makes him feel.

If he doesn't have weed, he doesn't care that much. He won't go into some nicotine fit, or get pissed of, or stop functioning or anything.

He's been off it before. He's gone several weeks without it. It's a recreational drug for him and there is nothing wrong with that.

What do you mean he would be as bad as that woman? If he didn't smoke he would act like a drunk asshole? That makes some real sense. You win.

alcohol can kill you. weed, no matter how much you smoke, cannot kill you. Supposedly you'd have to smoke your weight lb for lb in under an hour and if you somehow managed to do this you would die of smoke affixiation first. Weed is only psychologically addictive, while alcohol is both physically and psychologically addictive.

also, alcohol causes people to be violent when they have to much. Have you ever heard of a guy getting stoned and going home and beating the shit out of his wife? no. but drunks do it all the time.

all in all, alcohol makes you dumber, it really does. you slur your words, you can't drive for shit, you start basing all your thoughts on your feelings, you can become violent, you could have unprotected sex, you could even kill yourself.

with weed, these things don't happen. you never ever become violent, you generally don't get horny, you can't die from it, it makes you think in different ways.

Obviously weed is safer than alcohol. trust me. i'm obsessed with things that alter the mind.

I just can't believe what would bring you to think that something that is made in a plant is better for you than a weed.

Everyone knows, and it has been proven time and time again by scientists that weed is the least harmful 'drug.' All it has is 35 carcinogens in it. Cigarrettes have 65.

Also, the only reason weed could give you lung cancer is because of you putting smoke in your lungs. But doing this with any type of smoke would still be just as bad (well with cigarettes it would be worse because of the hundreds of chemicals.)

marijuana is just a dried up weed. oooh scary.

lol, stop assuming so much about marijuana and its effects because you've never smoked it and you've done no research on it apart from the dare bs they tell kids.

So how is alcohol okay and weed not?

Alcohol isn't ok either but compared to weed i think that it is less harmful when used in moderation. what that woman was doing was def. not being done in moderation so of course its gonna be more harmful. now if she had like one drink maybe once or twice a week then she wouldn't be acting so idiotic. she would be in control of herself still. if this woman was smoking weed the way she was drinking she'd prbly be even more outta of it then she is drinking. alcohol used in moderation isn't gonna have the same effects as weed (used in the same moderation) will. chemically they aren't equivalents of each other. alcohol that id drank in moderation is def. less harmful then weed smoked in moderation.

Exactly. What's so bad about that? He's a normal, functioning adult. He does what he needs to, he gets everything done, and he smokes pot every once in a while.
So my question to you is how has pot ruined his life? How is it such a terrible thing for him to do?

yeah but without it i bet he'd prbly be no better than that woman you were talking about. if he's been smoking it that long and that frequently then he obviously has a dependency and if you take the weed away then he's not gonna seem so functional for awhile until his body adapts back to not using weed.

She hadn't even had that much to drink yet. But what you said is kind of what I meant: She never stops, most of the drunks/alcoholics that I have known are completely dependant on alcohol. My biological dad did nothing but drink all the time, partly because he's a conceited sonofabitch, but mostly because people learn to use alcohol as a coping mechanism and it becomes a major part of their lives.
For my biological dad and for the woman I mentioned before, it becomes the biggest part of their lives. So how is alcohol okay and weed not?

ur dad on the other hand...how often does he smoke a bowl? and if he's done this all his life or at least since u've known him then of course it seems normal and he's prbly dependent on it

My dad has probably been smoking pot since he was in middle school. He smokes once or twice a day, maybe more if has friends over. It's not like a craving or anything, it's just something he enjoys. Like, if he doesn't have any weed, he's not gonna flip out and go crazy like with a nicotine fit, it's more like "oh well." I don't think it's an addiction at all.

idk. they think they know so much. mine are always like "well i was a kid once and i know how they are" it's just like come on already!!!!! that was like an epically long time ago. generations change. I mean my mom thinks everytime i go out to hang out with anyone that i had sex and anyone that even knows me the slightest bit would know that's not true.

i have a teacher who is amazing because she says that people make too many assumptions and that if people would just stick to the facts we'd all be better off. lol i never realized that i liked her so much til now.

gladly.

what is it with parents and assuming so much?

idk what kinda 19 yr old does that but i'm 17 and i do that. heck my mom thinks i'm on drugs because of it. (which i'm obviously not) lol wanna trade?

i know but it gets so hard sometimes.

she thinks i'm unhappy because i'm not 'bounding around the house in a happy way.'

what kind of 19 year old bounds around their house????

sounds like ur mom needs to remove the stick from her butt. lol if ur happy then screw what everyone else thinks you are. they are not you.

it's annoying. i'm happy. i know i am.

and yet because my life isn't up to my mom's expectations she seems to think i'm some extremely depressed drug addict.

i don't know. personally i think she's the one with the issues...

i'm completely happy with who i am so shouldn't that be enough?

lolllllll

i think that there are parts of life that are awesome so that we can deal with the bs. obviously u have sex and weed lol i'm not sure what i have but there must be something cuz i'm usually happy and then the people who are depressed obviously don't think they have anything good and dwell on it too much.
