[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630949, member: 1550"] 'Amelia, it sounds like she is going to leave anyway. Maybe her goal was really YOUR goal or maybe she doesn't have one yet. Trust me, I am not defending her. I am very anti-drugs and I've never been drunk in my life. I'm a BIG prude when it comes to using stuff to make life easier. I have a horrible mood disorder and I felt so ashamed for taking antidepressants,although they saved my life, that I spent over a year pushing everyone away so that nobody would get close to me and I'd have no chance of ever spilling my dirty secret to anybody. And I hated my husband because he knew. But the antidepressant was lifesaving for me. Without them, I'd be dead. But the antidepressant makes me feel normal, not high or low or mellow. That is rarely the case with pot. In fact, pot made me more depressed when I did try it. It is not safe for everyone, nor do I feel that moderate use is unsafe for everyone.
