I have been battling against depression and anxiety all my life and it wasn't until I tried weed for the first time with a trusted friend did I begin to learn how to healthily live with these mental illnesses

I was a little weird in that I spent at least two years in high school and college researching the effects of cannabis before considering using it. At first I didn't think it would be safe but by the end of my extensive research I realized that this might actually work. It's been 4 years since I first tried it and I have been a regular user since. Without it I would not be near as comfortable in social situations the way I am now and my depression has been leagues better than it ever was as a child. Really all of my strides in battling mental illness started with smoking a little bit of pot
