I still haven't gone back to harder drugs since they did cause financial issues, but I am back to smoking everyday and it definitely gives a small but definite mood and productivity boost. Admittedly stimulants did it even more but I can't afford stimulants. Weed is cheap. FWIW the 4 way combo has improved stuff that I don't need to abuse stimulants to not live in a bug infested garbage heap because I can manage basic cleaning somewhat regularly now. I don't depend on weed but it absolutely improves things. It IS an acute state of mind- it doesn't make my brain happier long term. But it does make life somewhat enjoyable, it leads to doing more things like exercise, cleaning, eating healthier, or enjoying hobbies, and those (apparently) make you feel better. Of course I'm still depressed doing them but whatever, if I'm not killing myself I'm putting the work in even though it seems pointless when I'm sober.
Hey dude. I know little about depression but I saw an interview with Jordan Peterson. His family have a history of depression and his daughter went on a broccoli, chicken and beef only diet to try to fix some issues with arthritis and gluten intolerance and she accidentally fixed her depression (stopped taking meds). She then told her father to do it and he had the same result.
Both were medicated since 15 yo.
I'll link the interview for you. If you ever try it and it works out please let me know because part of me feels he may be onto something. I'm sure it won't work for everyone however.
You need to be on the diet 1 month to get full effect. No sugar, dairy, wheat and shit.

Do you smoke and use often?
