Do not use for depression. I love mary jane but this is the straight up truth.
My friends dad is a phd in phsycotherapy, 20 years experience (15 to get the degree alone I beleive), and he has colleuges who are the top researches on the effects of marijuana in california.

My friends, dads, colleauge (i know hard to follow, the expert on cannabis) said that they are seeing an unpresedented amount of teenagers and young adults coming in with depression and mental illness.

Thc, like mushrooms and other physcoactives, can induce and worsen depression and mental illness. You may feel your self medicating, but in the long run heavy amounts of thc in the brain can, *can* be a problem.

My friends dad, phd 20 years experience, says he has tons of depressed marijuana users who are depressed when they stop smoking and have mild disorders of mental illness, this varies greaty to to genetics and backround.

marijuana is not a bad thing, they actually both agree, they are both for the legalization and reform, but even they are stumped to see this "unprecedented amount of young poeple with depression and mental disorders arising" they say its "astounding".

Your brain developes until your 25 years old, they both STRONGLY advise against *heavy* *daily* *constant* marijuana use at least until then.

No matter how benign you feel cannabis is, altering your brain while its still developing is never good. Cannabis is for adults.

This is where they think the problems lie, when your brain is developiong, constant heavy amounts of thc can cause disorders, depression etc etc. Even I have noticed horrible depression when I quit (I am 18). It goes away, but I notice when i quit I go up and down, mood swings, easily angered,

this is known as bipolar disorder. I don't have it, but the therapist said (after every question I answered) that it was 100 bipolar if I was like that all the time.

My sources, Phscologist 20 years experience, PHD (highest degree)

his colleuge, who specializes in all fields marijuana, who's one of the top in the state of california (sorry cannot disclose names).
