From the BBC

Actually, I think that most studies have found that frequent use of any drug can trigger depression and that those who tend to use drugs are more prone to depression overall anyway.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I'm schizophrenic, and so am I (but I'm not depressed). :D

Huh.

I tend to see dead people when I'm sober and when I'm stoned they REALLY come out of the woodwork.

The veil is WAY too thin for me already...

One major problem with studies like this is that those who are depressed often use drugs and alcohol, to "self-medicate". So what came first (marijuana or depression) is difficult to determine.

And who's sponsoring the pro-cannabis PR? Pot Heads?

Touche.

Yeah, sure.. anyone whos pro-legilization is a dope pheind. Because we all know the plant has absolutely no useful attributes. .

Of COURSE there is potential for your brain chemistry to be altered. Like any psychoactive cheimcal, when used, there are changes that can take place which could make you more susceptible to depression and even schizophrenia (not bloody likely). If you have schizophrenia, it wouldn't be apparent until later on in life .. usually after the age of 19.. which is usually around, or before, the time when most youths will experiment with the drug. I think the schizo parade is a lot of bull.. They just found it very convinient to use an arguement.

Potheads are a billion dollar industry... In the US alone.

However, growing cannabis sativa is, quite frankly, one of the most productive things you could do. Marijuana [smoked] has many medicinal properties. Also, 1 acre dedicated to the plant creates four times more paper than trees do. Furthermore, whatever else there is can be made into many many hemp products, like cloth or rope. Marijuana is also not very harmful to the soil it's grown on, unlike cotton and others.

Right....where is the lobbying group of marijuana users who spend tens of millions on political donations and public relations.

We all know that the various snack food conglomerates are behind the pro-pot PR.

A lot of people seem to enjoy pot. That makes me expremely suspicious right off the bat. Nobody should have unearned fun. Life is suffering and the body is sin and should be mortified.

Don't forget about our friend cannabis indica. :)
Nothing is quite as nice as relaxing in the evening with an nice indica.

Have trouble sleeping? Screw the toxic and dangerous prescription meds. Try an indica.

Cannabis terrifies the pharmaceutical and the cotton industry. TERRIFIES.

The above is probably just my usual sarcasm and in no way reflects my real opinion (and,or) may include subtleties of sufficient rarity as to appear to the unsuspecting like total gibberish.

:D :D :D :D

OK...

I'm finally in on something here. That would mean that the end is near.

Everyone, take cover!
