If you think so the best thing is to get off the weed. You will save money and be healthier.There is plenty of resources available starting with your MD. You can do it. Good luck

Cannabis is known to delay healing and given your age, would not be the best to treat depression. This would be the right time to discontinue use, talk to your doc about your symptoms.

There are better, healthier ways to treat depression. See your doctor. Quit using weed while you ahead. Marijuana is a psychoactive drug and will mess with your brain. MJ users are called stoners for good reason. Wish you good health!
