He NEVER said ppl who ARE stoned ARE happy. it said, when people RUN out they might get MILDLY depressed, FOR A FEW DAYS. SO STFU

And btw, yes. After a FEW DAYS (you need to learn to read PROPERLY UnViaje) after a few days of being dry im slighly annoyed and cranky, but iv gone 3 months without weed now. not cus i choose to tho, but cus i need a new dealer. anyway yeah. so its not THAT bad.

i doubt that weed causes depression. but again, if pro-marijuana ppl tend to only beleive pro-marijuana facts, anti-marijuana ppl ten to beleive only anti-marijuana facts

idiot. it also can cause STM (short term memory loss)

which i KNOW is true, because MOST stoners i know have bad memory, and i do as well, and it has gotten worse ever since i smoked weed.

but yeah, weed's not that bad, slight damage to the brain (SLIGHT) and mainly lung damage.

:dance:

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (like dopamine), melatonin is responsible for skin pigment.

Been doing it so long I can't tell you if my STM worked well before I started. Working in Corp America for so long I have learned to compensate. (my last boss used to laugh at all the post-it notes in my cube) My wife thinks I was probably ADD when I was a kid but back then, they didn't call it that. They called it "sit down and be quiet or I'll kick your ass and then send you to the principal, who will also kick your ass and call your parents who will seriously tan your hide".
Worked way better than Ritalin.
I would beg to differ on the lung damage since there has yet to be a case of cancer or emphysema attributed to weed. I think there was even a recent study that found that pot can actually reduce/reverse the damage caused by smoking tobacco.

go play some blues or something, man. (without reading for the sheer sake of ragging on you) beachguy's signature says that a joint(s) increases MELATONIN levels of 4000% after two hours.

lighten up, bro. i can feel your depression over here. no woman no cry.

Uh.

Ever since I've started smoking, I've been feeling way less depressed and stressed out about life in general.

The smoke has to have a negative effect on the lungs in some kind of way.

Seriously

People who are MORE LIKELY to smoke weed will ALREADY have a under-lining Depression problem BEFORE smoking weed,

to say theres a link between pot and depression is to say breast milk leads on to alcoholicism (if thats even a word)

I depressed because I have'nt had any in over two months. :(

yo ganj, man i am lightened up, you don't even know. i woke n boke in bed.
