No. It only makes you feel like that if you are depressed. Are you sure he actually means depressed? It makes you feel really sedated and your head feels fuzzy all the time (sometimes you don't notice it till you haven't smoked for a while) plus you can't be arsed to do anything but it doesn't really make you feel depressed. Perhaps he feels depressed cuz he feels there should be something better in his life than just smoking all the time?

what he said was something like when he smokes hasch regularly for a period of time..say a week or two he gets really downed by everything.. not because he smokes, but just down in his mood (i guess depressed is exagerating it a bit)

Yeah well its probably cuz he feels like crap all the time cuz hes smoking too much, that would bring anyone down.

people, hash or solid is a drug that definately has amore of a sedated feeling thaN SKunk for example. what is for sure after reading lots of research, is that marijuana will make any pyschological problems you have worse. this is a fact. so if you already an unhappy person then weed just gunna make things worse and the drug becomes more of an escape. i know a mate who says to me'theres no me without weed' thats just fucked up. i smoking less and less weed now i founf the woman of my dreams and i feeling more energetic and awake everyday. that not to say i stoipping, if anything i stop smoking cigs. anyway the long and short of this is in my opnion cannabis doesnt make you depressed but it is not a drug that will make you happy if you are already down, it kinda sends you more in the direction u already facing. stay cool people.

your right there animal, like alcahol marijuana is a depressent that makes whatever you are feeling at the time amplified, thats why generally stoners are happy, cuz they are happy that they are smoking and stay that way, but like if your stoned and get paranoid you stay paranoid for ages. and so forth...

true.. but another aspect of marijuana makes it a possible "escape" cos you tend to drift away with your thaughts, you focus on small things and change what you are thinking about all the time so if you are depressed you might think about that for a while, then you just think about something else and forget you're depressed. this won't make your problems dissapear, you just don't think about them all the time as you might if you were sober (well, most of this was kinda incoherant..i just woke up and I'm a bit tired, just rambling)
