I think herb smoking is very individualized as a mood changing drug. My experience 20 years or so ago, was that it CLEARLY casued a sense of "well being" as well as general apathy. However, I quit using it because of its tendency to make me paranoid. So, I guess your mileage may vary. Now as far as opioid/opiate use as antidepressants, I think the science supports the theory...again, very individualized results. I have always found them to make my mood lift. However, I don't think there are too many docs out there willing to dole out Oxycontin as an AD med, because of its very HIGH rate of abuse, dependence and re-direction to the illicit drug market. So, don't get your hopes up if it works for you. Maybe one day.....but don't hold your breath.
