    Weed used to heavily increase my risk of relapsing on PMO. I seemed to enjoy PMO more when I was stoned.

    The whole cause of your symptoms, in my opinion, is because you continually choose to escape your life rather than engage in it. If you are looking for something to help numb or take your mind off your life, then this is an extremely worrying sign.

    The answer your question, drugs aren't going to help you with depression. I would start with a therapist if you cannot handle symptoms on your own

    Finally, a voice of reason.

    There are plenty of ways to escape reality. You can gamble your life away, rob a bank (I'm sure that's very thrilling), play on your phone until your finger tips are bleeding (you won't feel any sadness!), try a little meth... Well, the options are endless, and it will, without a doubt keep you from feeling depression. It will also never ever, not in a million years, make you happy. And as soon as you stop the thrill seeking behaviour, you will be worse than you ever where before.

    The human body was built for continuous movement and your brain for low key, fairly unadventurous activities. It's a design that's hundreds of thousands years old. In the last twenty years, we don't move (no, lifting a dumbell for an instagram picture doesn't count) and our brains are hijacked by extreme stimulus. Anyone who can't cope with this new, completely unnatural way of living, is diagnosed with ADHD or other mental illnesses.

    Mysteriously, individuals that move their bodies (20,000 steps a day) and focus on naturally stimulating activities that doesn't provide unnatural levels of reward, also fare better and rarely or never have ADHD.

    google "CBD addiction recovery" and you will find some articles about its use to recover from addiction and prevent relapses. I wouldn't use marijuana, because it only contains small amounts of CBD and large amounts of THC, because THC is the chemical that causes the high.

    If you are taking prescription medications, you better not use anything. CBD can interact with things. For example, I read that CBD can neutralize the effectiveness of certain anti-seizure drugs. So while CBD can help with epilepsy, you would not want to take CBD if you are taking prescription drugs for epilepsy.

    Pornography and masturbation are like porn.

    Be strong.
     
  7. Listen man I smoke weed once or twice a month and it really helps me to avoid PMO, I mean every time I smoke I do it with the homies, not alone, and while being high and the days after I really see Porn for what it is some bs that I don't wanna be engaged with. So in my humble opinion weed can help, but only if you've tried it before (not doing it for the first time) and if you consume it with moderation. But you need to understand that it won't cure your depression or your addiction, it would only make them disappear for a short period of time, so at the end of the day you gotta face these issues and battle them while sober in real life. Hope this helps and again this is just my opinion maybe it doesn't work for everybody.
    Peace
