I am very interested in this as I have Lyme Disease (LD) and have finally come to the conclusion that marijuana contributes to it/worsens it. LD also lowers serotonin (and important related proteins such as tryptophan) and thus it is important to get serotonin (and protein!) when you have LD.
In terms of marijuana, a recent article from Wired science (can't hyperlink for some reason, just Google marijuana and serotonin) suggests that small amounts of marijuana increase serotonin, and large amounts decrease it.
Thus, if you have serotonin deficiencies (or are depressed or are taking SSRIs) it is best to avoid marijuana, but I suppose small amounts may help. You may want to experiment, but personally I'm avoiding until I'm better. Marijuana is fun, but look inside: do you really need it??
