- Rich711, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1What Bull$h!t!! I've been smoking pot everyday since I was 15 and I never once... ever...
...crap, I forgot what I was going to say.
Damn, I'm so stupid! I hate it when my stupid brain does this!
...I think I'll go kill myself. - NikoKun, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1Jeezus... More of this garbage? Are you kidding me? Boy, they'll say anything, no matter how backwards or blatantly false, wont they? -_- These misinformations and lies are extremely harmful, not just to people, but also their trust in the government, and the truth!
First, look at alcohol, look at the horrible things THAT does to someone's life, depression, anger, violence, etc... Pot is no comparison to that at all... And Alcohol is the one that's legal? W...T...F?
Besides, such a claim couldn't be farther from the truth! Marijuana is a very useful way to TREAT depression! I can't think of a better way, because all the pharma drugs available, either don't do what the patient wants, have horrible side effects, or make the patient's personality change or give them horrible mood swings.
Whereas Marijuana, does what you want it to do! It makes you happy, helps you forget about stress and depression, clears your mind from dwelling on things that suck. It's a well documented way to decrease overall depression!
If your depressed, go light up a joint, and then tell me it doesn't work for depression. LOL
The only thing making pot-users depressed, is knowing that their life improving drug of choice, is illogically illegal, and that getting arrested for pot, can easily ruin their life! This is the law, CREATING the unnecessary harms and depression!

You'll find a whole bunch of articles and studies about how well Marijuana works to treat depression... among other things. - CaptainAmerica1, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Maybe this is why we have a generation of America haters... They're drugged out, can't think for themselves, and join the sheep herd of anarchist stoners.
Party on, dude!
