As someone who has been consuming lots of marijuana in the past 25 years, my recommendation is to not consume marijuana when in a bad mood or in stressful situations. I see drugs (including alcohol) as mood amplifiers.

This is a great way to use drugs. Even coffee! If you have coffee when you have anxiety you’ll be in store for much more anxiety
Also, THC triggers panic attacks in many people, regardless of their mood or whether any stress is going on in their life.
Many people do use cannabis for mood enhancement, though that a) might not work, and b) might lead to dependence.
