It's hard to say what the cause and effect is here. It's sort of circular logic to say that marijauna causes depression among those who smoke marijana because they are already depressed.

However, even though I love weed, I think it is not necessarily good for young people whose minds and personalities are still developing. I'd say the same thng about alcohol and other drugs. There is a huge amount of mental and emotional development happening when you are a teenager, and it seems reasonable to me that you could mess some of that up with excessive pot smoking, especially if you were also dealing with depression or other emotional issues.
