a substance which actually exacerbates depression when used routinely, which is a matter of medical fact...
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".
You're at Witt's End.
