Marijuana withdrawal or depression?
Question by Dirty Numb Angel Girl: Marijuana withdrawal or depression?
Hey all,
I have been feeling upset the whole of this week, confused and lost like I can’t cope with the world outside. I have been bursting into tears for no reason throughout the day and have been losing my temper a lot too. I have began to feel very anxious for example if I see two people laughing in the street I feel like they must be laughing at my expense or at me. I feel like I just want to be alone or sleep for months on end just so I don’t have to think anymore.
I’m not sure if this is because I have a history of bouts of depression or because I have been smoking marijuana heavily for the past 2 years and now have cut down a hell of a lot?
How can I know which one it is?
Best answer:
Answer by Under Seige
As marijuana is not physically addictive, it is impossible to have physical withdrawal symptoms. Seems to me you self medicate with marijuana, and now that you have stopped using, these issues are rising to the surface with a vengeance. You should talk to a therapist.
@ Mark… LOL… a known depressant? To whom? Marijuana is a well known neural-stimulant, idiot.
Answer by Mark IX
You have a history of depression and smoke marijuana, a known depressant? That is so very, very stupid.

Pubs in Philadelphia?
Question by Nadia: Pubs in Philadelphia?
Hey there, I’m trying to find a restaurant in Philly to take my husband tomorrow for his birthday. He’s pretty much an “I love American Food, good drinks on occasion, laid back.” kind of guy. 😉 I want to take him somewhere where there’s going to be awesome burgers/american food, atmosphere (preferably a tavern/pub style would be nice), good service, and all around a great time. =) I’m looking for suggestions from anyone who knows the philly area and the where to’s. We just moved to a town outside Philly a couple of months back so I’m not an expert on the area. A little help is always great. =) Thank you or your feed back.

Answer by Nancy Nurse
Oh my, you asked this question at the perfect time. Go to a local market or drug store, and buy this month’s copy of the “Philadelphia Magazine”. It is all about this very subject … bars and food. It lists places all over the city and suburbs. Wishing your husband a happy birthday!
Answer by Adalyn’s Mommy?
If you’re looking for a good burger, some great fries (they are too die for!), and good drinks, go to Chickie & Pete’s! Oh my gosh, they are great! If you go, make sure you order the crab fries, you won’t regret it 🙂
