I think it depends on the person.
I am a pretty big pothead (probably stoned on average 40% of the time I am awake) and I have issues with depression and stuff. So most of the time when I puff it does let me relax and forget my problems. But occasionally I get "too high" or I have a bad mindset and I can have a bad time with pot because it gives me lots of anxiety or minor panic attacks.
MDMA, I think, is *not* a drug to let you escape your problems. If you take MDMA with a bad mindset or some messed up issues you can have a really emotional bad time. It's never happened to me but I've seen it happen. Actually I think MDMA makes you aware of your problems but gives you the hope and honesty to work them out.
Opiates/Benzos just get you so faded you don't give a fuck. Even if you do happen to think about problems on these drugs most likely you'll shrug it off and forget about it 5 seconds later.
My favorite drugs aren't those which make you forget about or suppress your problems. They are ones that make you aware of what you need to do to make your life better and show you how to do it. That is why LSD and MDMA are my favorite drugs. I love Cannabis too but it's been a long time since I was still trying to convince myself that being a pothead was doing me any good.
This fits my situation 100%
We should quit the weed ... cause it's not doing our lungs any good, nor our mind, but that's something that's more long-term.
Also, we'd have more money for other more interesting drugs

Long live acid!

I think I'm more of a 70% stoner, but whatever. It depends, when I'm busy I don't get high. When I'm not, I don't stop getting high.
