It controls me. I'm addicted to cannabis. But it helps so much with depression. I'm an American vet with PTSD.

I get what you're saying. I have used marijuana for about 35 years. I now realize I had been self medicating. People look down on users. My doc doesn't ant me smoking but it's just so hard to give up when depressed. I find it very helpful. I'm trying not to smoke right now but I'm having a lot of difficulty with it as my depression is really bad and I just want some relief. I may have to cave because I just can't live like this
