What can I replace marijuana with before I crawl out of my skin?
I was forced to quit smoking weed 9 days ago and used it to treat depression. I am not doing this by choice. My life is totally different now....and at moments I cannot sit still. I cannot enjoy anything like I used to... the sunset, food, movies - nothing. I take St Johns Wart & Welbutrin for depression but it does not do the trick like weed did. Is there anything I can buy at the vitamin store or ANYTHING I can take to boost whatever chemcials are now lacking causing me to feel so down? I feel like I am in a bad dream and cannot wake up. I cannot take this much longer.

You can’t sit stilll..have you tried exercise? Not joking. I find serious exercise, assuming you don’t have serious physcal disabilities, can be a great comfort. And strenuos exercise releases a lot of the endophins & other chemicals that pot does.

You say you used weed to cope with depression, was this prescribed by a doctor, or were you self medicating? Self medicating can be dangerous. Depression is a serious disease and needs the attention of a professional.
You are also taking some herbs which I assume was solely your own decision. Again, I advise you seek professional help.
Mean while, there are some things you can do. You might want to do a body cleanse, because I am guessing you have some serious chemical imbalance.
Exercise, if there is no physical limitation advising against it. It does not have to be rigorous. I will recommend walking, even if you do other exercises. Walking has the unique advantage of helping you to think, sort things out in your mind, because what is wrong might not be purely physical.
Vitamins are great if you know which ones to take. But here again, you are self medicating.
You need proper nutrition-food-not just isolated vitamins.
And here is a regimen I know works from personal experience-Meditation. It is very effective, when combined with a holistic lifestyle. I pray you get better. Good luck.

if you’re looking for an alternative to weed, there’s something called spice. it’s completely legal (but not for long) and it has JWH-081 which is synthetic THC. you can buy it in gas stations and smoke shops at 18. It’s usually $10 to $15 for a gram. it gives you a weed high and you smoke it like weed. just make sure not to eat it. king kong and supernova are really good.

She’s right, exercise has the closest effect on the cannabinoid system as marijuana. In fact, after exercise the body releases large amounts of endocannabinoids into the system activating the cannabinoid receptors. This is why exercise gives all the same health benefits of smoking marijuana.
Aside from that, if you are looking for something to smoke you can smoke some "funky green stuff" Blue berry flavor – korn
It is a synthetic cannabinoid
You have to be careful with synthetic cannabinoids because they bind to the receptors more tightly than the cannabinoids in marijuana do and do not have the neuron protecting effect that cannabinoids do. So you can overdose from them. Of these JW is the most dangerous binding to the receptors 100 times more tightly
I find Funky Green Stuff looks the most like weed, smells the most like weed and gives an effect that is closest to weed than any other synthetic cannabinoid I have ever smoked. 1-2 good hits and i’m good for about 30 minutes. I’ve tried K2 and Spice. They suck because they give you anxiety
