Anecdotes are just that, anecdotes. You're not the only one with it in this conversation, and you're not the only one tried to self medicate. So what, my outcomes are invalid just because we're different? Lets stop pretending weed is the actual problem... the depression is the actual problem. We're talking about a plant that is almost exclusively taken to "relax".

Each person is different. I've seen, with my own eyes, my own mother deteriorate from being a mathematically minded, athestic, no-nonsense individual, to a complete mess, thinking that God himself is talking to her. Not *everyone* has the capacity to simply accept that they are hallucinating. For that, I aplaud you and wish you the best of healt. But remember, you're one of the few, not the many!

a substance which actually exacerbates depression when used routinely, which is a matter of medical fact... ...no shortage of people absolutely convinced that their anecdotal evidence is solid scientific proof.

This is an example of absolute ignorance. Marijuana had gone *extensive* medical studies in order to provide propoganda against it. You're talking about a plant that had been equated to heroin at one point, and you're still thinking that that "evidence" is acurate? Argument from authority? Ignorance? which? That marijuana, in of itself is not a *solution* to depression, and is certainly not a substitude for deep imbalances of neuro transmitters (often seritonin), should not be the cause of dismissing it altogether. Marijuana had time and time again had been *observed* to lessen the impact of many ailments. It helps with pain, it helps with nausia, it certainly *does* help depression, if only to keep it from getting that much worse, temporarily. Oh, sorry, I'm letting facts get in the way of your "truth".

Heh... thank god my mother is smaller than I was when she decided that I'm one of "them". I can't really describe the feeling of having to subdue her fragile frame only because she thought world war 3 was in full swing (we lived on a main road, at the end of which there is a retirement home, which naturally means lots of sirens). I feel you.
