Can I ask if you can post a link or two of the ones that you feel work. Lot of stuff on the internet and I don’t know where to begin and what’s legit. Thanks.

I gave my husband no choice. He was going to try cannabis or he would have to leave. He has MS, a history of traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, major depressive episodes, poor impulse control, and he can become destructive in the home and just crazy acting. It can be frightening, infuriating, humiliating. I have wanted to never see him again. I have called the police and paramedics numerous times. I cannot deal with that behavior or the crazy talk that gets really abusive and nonsensical. With the Opioid hysteria affecting the availability of other medications now, doctors weren’t real helpful in the quick need department, no matter how serious this became. When he is out of control, he is a danger to himself because of bad balance, coordination and mobility issues.
Experimentation with antidepressants given by doctors not understanding the neurological involvement and reactions, rocked both our worlds.
He packed all of his worldly belongings in the car and went to a natural area for 2 days. He lost all of his belongings there. He got confused and somehow left all of his clothes and belongings in the park. I just can’t do this anymore.
He was starting on a bad episode the other day and I grabbed a Katsu Bubba Kush preroll. Two hits and 30 seconds had his frown upside down. He was happy, smiling and ready to go to the gym. Can’t find seeds for this one. Is it the same as other Bubba Kush’s? Good gravy, did this ever do the job better than anything he has tried. Maybe cannabis will help us both to stay sane.

There was a book by (Goethe?) called the sorrow of young werther. It is a story of love and suicide and whenever/wherever it was published there was a sharp increase in suicide. Monkey see monkey do.
It’s called the Werther Effect.

Its only weird beacuase you think weired thoughts dear one 
Be love be light, forgive yourself and all others and start now new!!! There is only the eternal NOW, the past is gone and the future is not there yet so stay happy and blissy in the now 
Never forget: YOU create all your energies, feelings and so on with the thoughts you think… so if you want to create your own heaven on earth then think heavenly thoughts
Its only your own ego which wants to pull you down in the bottomless pit as the bible so eloquently said 
So be very loving and understanding to your husband and be happy and grateful that you are still alive and hopefully joyfully kicking mate
I love you!

Yeah we all are more dynamically feeling instead of true positive thinking. This is wat we have all come for to learn here in this wonderful mystery school of God we call earth
We all are more emotional oriented but we have to polarize ourselves with the mental body
There all the problems come from

This is such a wonderful thread. I feel I have battled with mental health a little over the course of the recent years. I struggled with my social anxiety and now I’m fortunate enough to have changed that by working for a food delivery service. I don’t even like expressing these feelings usually and I really believe that’s a byproduct of the society we live in today. I have no psychology degree, and I definitely do not like degrading anybody, but I feel like so many people are actually brainwashed. Or just very closed minded? Glad I have OG to come too lol
I don’t know, I’m pretty high lol so this’s probably a rant, but I’ve had the feeling that nobody understood me for so long, until I found this site; literally. I’m probably among one of the youngest on the site, not even in my twenties yet, but close lol; the connection I have with this plant is insane. There is no better peace to me than just looking at my plants. My biggest goal right now is to get to a state with more freedom since I want to do so much and change so many lives with this plant, I see the massive potential it has to single handedly take out a large portion of the pharmaceutical industry, if people would give it a chance. I just want to be able to provide good, clean meds that WORK for the patients that so very need it. This has turned into a rant though lol, I hope everybody is having wonderful day today or has had, keep your spirits high everyone

I’m high too. G’morning.
I was under 20 over 20 ago & so this bit’s important to consider(& should be excited about): The next 10 years are still “growing up” and your body will be at it’s peak. Our hormones & brains don’t settle down until about age 25 (science & stuff) which means you can attribute part of life’s discomforts & challenges to that. Much like we’re screaming when we come out of our mother at birth. 
(It goes away, for the most part).
And since I’m stoned I’m repressing a million bits of “wisdom” to offer that are flying around in the ether of my head…not trying to paternalize/patronize/condescend, just really wish someone had told me a few things at your age.
Society does seem to play an irritating role in life & the modern western world(or whatever) is a freak of history, human and geologic. Enjoy the apex of food (there won’t be any in the future) 
.
Health is a priority; we can’t do much without it.
The stoner train of thought just left the station & the munchies just arrived
take it easy, stay smart & safe & have fun

That first part was very reassuring. I thought so was going crazy honestly lol. I think I’ve got some direction though; I know I’ll be here on og for as long as possible.

Sorry I have been mostly absentee and have fallen behind on reading and encouraging all of my OG family’s thread and grows. I have been starting to struggle with the stay at home order and it is really starting to effect my mental health. My depression and anxiety have been a bit more than even my medication can handle. This week I am back and forth between extreme hatred of the human race and randomly sobbing. Feeling anxious and extremely angry, judgy and mean, especially regarding the covid. Which I don’t want to turn into a debate on this, I’m simply relating to my mental state and it’s trigger. I’ve found myself hating friends and family because of their behavior during this time.
I’m having a really hard seeing the bright side or even forcing myself to have positive thoughts. This is not my norm and it’s extremely uncomfortable feeling this way. I recognize the signs of my depression when I start spiraling down the well. Obsessing over things I can’t control. At one time, it was genocide in Africa, this time it’s my mistrust of the government and how apathetic and powerless I feel.
Just needed to let it out. Thanks for reading.

My 24yr old son is living on the edge. It’s pushing me into depression.
Lost the room he was renting.
Lost his job.
Lost his car…Hit a parked car last week.
Addict. Lost it all because of drinking and chemical chit. Molly, xany bars, espec.
I told him he needs rehab unless he wants to continue spiraling out if control.
He has had psych troubles since born. I’m hurting because I can’t protect him from himself. And I can’t kick him out.
Soon they will start prosecuting him for his dui hit and run. Seems I have no choice but to sit here and live thru my sons hell.
Srry. Just venting… 
@Meesh. Wishing you the best. You have such a big heart. Very nice to see your beautiful garden pics.

Watching someone you love destroy themselves is excruciating. Feel so helpless and also frustrating at the same time, not to mention the fear for their safety. I can’t even imagine how exponential it would feel when it’s your child. Sorry, to hear this.
I hate to say it, but if you can’t kick him out, feed him etc… but don’t give him any money. You know where it will go. My heart goes out to you and your son. Seems like he’s getting close to rock bottom, it may be what he needs to get straight as painful as it is to watch.

Meesh, you are not alone with declining mental health during this global crisis. My bipolar has had me both up and down, angry and ecstatic these last couple weeks.
GramTorino, it must be hard watching your son hit rock bottom. I hope this incident opens his eyes to his destructive behavior.

Sometimes speaking up on a Cannabis forum to random people can be more beneficial than talking to someone you know 
Agreed…on the phone is great also. Ive done that talked to people from far away it was much easier to get honest with them and myself.

My buddy told me a looooonnnnggg time ago…with kids destroying themselves is to make them relate. So take the kid shopping and buy them a really nice black outfit and when they ask about it say this “if you keep going the way you are you will die and i want to make sure i have a nice outfit to bury you in” Sometimes tough love is the best answer…trying to control anyone (even your kid) is useless suffering. They have a spiritual journey just as you and I do…stop interfering in it! Also if you raised them to know the difference between right and wrong…then let go!

I have been reading about cannabis and using it for mental health issues, mostly for my partner/husband/ex- husband. I have my own issues that one variety or another might help. Some of the plants that folks here at least talk about, aren’t readily available on the breeders websites or seedbank websites.
Would it be inappropriate of me to write to a producer of a product that is not currently offered to inquire about its potential availability for purchase?
I am so new at ordering seeds, I’ve done it, but I am not experienced or knowledgeable. One a certain website, I spent 3 whole days clicking between different Green Cracks, all from the same seed bank. That is no joke, sadly. I could not commit to a producer of the seed. No Green Crack was purchased.
I try to read here, what effects and helps different varieties have on different people and their symptoms. Cackleberry sounds very interesting (Greenpoint does not have it listed), what was said about Lucky Charms, then the is Blue Dream that was mentioned. Trying to order Blue Dream seeds from somewhere would possibly have me up day and night for a week.
Would it be foolish of me or a waste of a seed banks time for me to ask about a product that they do not have in their catalog?
I have been looking for him, but I am starting to consider that I should be looking for myself, too. My brain runs like non- stop streaming diarrhea from a cheetah, and I cannot regain the upper hand.
I have some Jilly Bean seeds. Has anyone good experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms with this? Or White Strawberry Skunk x BC God Bud? Or Northern LIghts x BC God Bud? Kaboom? For rampaging anxiety and depression, would any of these be something you’d grow next? I have looked these things up, but just about any cannabis blurb makes claims. I’d like to know from someone who has received benefit from these things, please. And this is going to be more for me, myself, and I. Are any of these “happy” weeds, please? I am sorry if my questions are dumb. I am not ashamed, though. Shoot, I am too ashamed of everything else and too pissed
at life in general to care about much else other than trying to avoid offending or irritating others.

Sorry for the brief reply but seek out Indica dominant 1:1 THC:CBD. Sativa may help as well but individual trialing is req’d.

I’m trialing, a bit at a time! I have not had the opportunity yet to try something Indica dominant. I have only sampled what he gets and what I have grown which is Sativa and Sativa dominant. Thank you.
