Of course marijuana is related to mood disturbances. I'm not gonna be too preachy, but I smoked every form of cannabis from all parts of the world from 1969 to about 1981. Caused major detours in my life. Just mental masturbation. If you want abiding peace, you're gonna have to ask for it and work for it.

If you can stop for a month or so, you can then (after your receptor sites are clean) try some Passion Flower (Passiflora Incarnata). It gives a pot-like high without fuzzinesss, and it has an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety effect that lasts for about 24 hours. It is nowhere as habituating as hemp, so one can use it 'as needed' instead of chronically. It costs about $1.50 an ounce. But this is a medicinal herb, not a recreational drug. What I hear from your post is not about recreation, it is about self-medication. I wouldn't mix this with prescription antidepressants. One or the other. Passion Flower helped during my divorce when prescription drugs like Deseryl and Atavan kicked my ass.

True and abiding peace needs to flow from a deep spiritual source. It might be time to plumb the depths of the faith you grew up in. That is, go far beneath the outer forms and conventions to a depth (or height) that most people never know. True religion is not about conventional behavior, it is about Truth - Ultimate Reality - That which is Really Real. Ultimately satisfying to the psyche, this quest. Want details? E mail me.

Thanks for the compliment...just trying to be a 'voice of experience' that one will actually 'listen' to at this site. Also, I've tried to become the kind of counselor that I needed when I was 22.

Well, no argument from me about food and exercise. However, when someone is battling a specific habit, say, with pot, one can sometimes wean that person off by shaping the behavior. Passiflora looks, tastes and kinda feels like pot, but without much of the addicting quality of pot. It is easier to suggest this kind of behavior modification in the short run, than suggest a complete change of lifestyle. Once a person eliminates a major obstacle (Passiflora is not likely to create an addiction problem), then one must fill the void created. Then one can find healthy things to do: resistance training, yoga, elimination of processed foods and white flour and sugar; and the inclusion of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

I for one am gonna get on my Bowflex after playing on the computer, then follow the workout with a salmon and broccoli dinner. Hey, I'm not getting any younger!
