"I was wondering you have ever tried Marijuana for your depression?"
No. I've smoked pot only a handful of times, and it caused panic consistently. Besides, my job--what little I do of it anymore--requires a sharp mind; being stoned would make it impossible.
"as it is an Opiate derivitive"
No, it's not. The active ingredient in marijuana is THC; opiates derive wholly are partly from papaver somniferum. Two completely different plants.
"They grow theirs for nearly nothing and it keeps them happy.Just a thought."
I _have_ considered growing my own opium poppies and making something akin to laudanum. I have the chemistry background to do it. Trouble is, it would hard to maintain a supply in the winter, and I'd probably end up getting busted. You can't do anything these days without Big Brother watching.
My best bet would be to hook up with someone who robs pharmacies. I'd never do it myself, but I'd certainly give business to someone who did. I've managed to maintain a somewhat steady supply via online pharmacies, but the time is quickly coming when the DEA will put a stop to that. When that happens, I'll proably wind up either killing myself or switching to something you can readily buy on the street.
