I saw the South Park episode where Mr Mackey tries weed and LSD, and he said "marijuana makes you feel depressed and low". Is he talking about while high, or a longer term effect?

In the pot culture, I've been finding alot more depressed people than in the sober culture. My dealer is depressed. Half the smokers I know are depressed. People on this message board are saying they are depressed.

Of course, it might not be the weed that makes you depressed, i'm aware of that. The depression might be a symptom of the fact that you're doing something "bad" and illegal. Or maybe smoking weed is a symptom of depression, someone felt they needed to do something bad and illegal because they were depressed.

Is there a psychological connection, or is this simply a coincidence?
