This is almost funny...I haven't read it, yet/Pot-users less depressed (study)

ALBANY, NEW YORKâ??In the largest-ever study of marijuana and depression, to be published in the journal Addictive Behaviors, daily or weekly marijuana users had fewer symptoms of depression than non-users. Marijuana users were also more likely to report positive moods and fewer somatic complaints such as sleeplessness. Noteworthy differences were also found between those using marijuana for medical purposes and non-medical or "recreational" users.

The new research appears to contradict statements by some government officials suggesting that marijuana is a cause of depression. For example, in a May 3, 2005, press release from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, ONDCP Director John Walters said, "Marijuana use, particularly during the teen years, can lead to depression, thoughts of suicide and schizophrenia."

"Not only does marijuana not cause depression, it looks like it may actually alleviate it," said Mitch Earleywine, co-author of the new study and associate professor of psychology at the University at Albany, State University of New York.

Ur right, even the chinese didn't jump on the "China bandwagon". It's illegal there too. :(

I bet before Nixon, they were people, just like us, saying, "It won't be long until it's legal, again, like it was 35 years ago. Man those were the days."

Nixon set back all the research done and now we're just catching up. Thanks to computers, no one is gonna destroy all this new information coming out.

Weed makes a person more carefree and inspires most people to some degree. So if your carefree and inspired to do something why would you be depressed. :thumbsup: :smokin:
