Well, after watching every single Cheech and Chong movie, I would agree.

Of course, trying to watch the movie Ricky-O on weed can REALLY make you depressed.

From your source

"girls who used the drug everyday were five times more likely to become depressed and suffer from anxiety compared to those who did not use the drug."

Or perhaps people who are depressed tend to smoke more pot, or would that be too obvious?

No one ever said it was harmless. It's just considerably less dangerous than legal drugs like alcohol. Regardless, it's not the government's right to tell me what I can put into my body. It's my body, not theirs, not yours, not anyone else's.

It could be a mix of both. At least I would think, but what the hell do I know.

Or perhaps people who smoke pot realise the formalities and conventions of their pre-pot smoking life are meaningless because they smoke pot, and then get depressed. Better than turning round when you hit 80 and realising you wasted your life.

I never said drugs do no harm. I just don't think the government should protect people from themselves.

But at least we now know why you're depressed Al.

In what way am I harming you by smoking pot? (Or by drinking alcohol, since I'm more of a drinker than a smoker?) If you aren't harmed by my drug use, and if nobody else (except perhaps me) is harmed by my drug use, then why should you have a say in whether or not I do drugs?

X has very limited side-effects. You tend to over-heat, for which you can compensate with chill-room and plenty of fluids. Massive overuse can cause dendritic branching out of the side of your axions, which isn't good, so don't over use it. Other than that, it has no known side effects.

bah... you know how many people smoke weed and they are NOT depressed? now maybe every boy outside the chinese stores smoking weed and crack might actually have had depression before the drug use (i mean living in the city, you got reason to be depressed), but I doubt it... they don't go around mopping around being like I need to discuss this with my therapist... any depression came AFTER drug use as their life got messed up and **** because of the drugs...

and what about the whities in the suburbs? they got no reason to be depressed but they smoke weed and become depressed...


Che:

I think it's society's responsibility to prevent you from harming society by becoming a drug addict who don't know what he's doing, whether commiting crimes or neglecting your kids... also, from a moral stand-point, people feel obligated to prevent others from ****ing their lives up... I've said it before and I'll say it again... if no one here in Philadelphia did any drug and nobody had pre-marital sex, in a single generation, Philly would be ridiculously the best place to live... happy homes, no crime, etc.

limited side-effects, perhaps, but I'd say it's much more dangerous than pot.

Hmmmm. Do you mean MDMA? limited side effects? I tend to disagree, it always ****s my head proper for at least a few days to a week... and everyone ive known who has done it often (more than once a week) ends up real emotionally screwed

None of the smokers I knew/know in college are depressed, and that's a sizeable number.

You can punish me and/or moralize after I've done something wrong, like commit a crime (other than doing drugs) or neglect my kids. I still don't see where you get the right to punish me when I haven't even done anything to harm anybody else.

quote: also, from a moral stand-point, people feel obligated to prevent others from ****ing their lives up...

Thanks for the concern, but just the same, you're not very high on my list of "people I'd consult for moral advice."

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I've used drugs for almost eighteen years now. In what ways have I harmed society through my drug use? What crimes have I committed? What kids have I neglected?

Your problem is you think the majority should be punished for the actions of a minority. Perhaps we should work on creating meaningful lives for people, instead of damning them for trying to have some fun in life.

BTW, you're full of sh*t. If no one in Philly did drugs or had pre-marital sex, you'd still have crime up the wazzoo because THERE ARE NO JOBS in Philly.

And you're still completely f*ck*ng clueless about life in the suburbs. You should stop talking outta your ass, but then that would mean you weren't sayin' anything. You have absolutely no clue as to what life in the suburbs is like, so stop proving you're a fool.

Depression is existentialist angst, there is no 'reason' for it. Weed just shows how meaningless existence is, and lets you laugh at it. Trouble is, when you ain't laughing, it ain't funny. In fact its a bit ****.

I don't do drugs, but I still support to legalise it. Who are you to say what people can or cannot do.

I don't mind if you smoke pot, I would only have it sold at state run stores like liquors. Smoke in your house, and if you cought outside with it in the slammer.

Sounds fair to me.

nah we got jobs in Philly... on the real though, almost nobody in philly is legitimately impoverished... most people is lower middle class, just they waste all their money. buying drugs instead of paying off the mortgage... getting jordans and jerseys instead of buying food... people need to get their priorities straight first and stop ****ing and smoking... we got jobs and it's not hard to make money (i mean some west africans and indians and what not come over here, don't buy nothing excessive, work real hard, and after like five years, they rich as **** and move to the burbs)

Pot doesn't do much or any permanent damage. Some, albeit relatively inconclusive, studies show that full recovery from depression and cloudiness caused hash can achieved if they give up smoking it frequently.

Frequent smokers are more likely to be initially depressed, and more likely to be (even before weeding the meadows) poor and stupid, both major triggers of both depression and substance abuse.

By abuse I mean overuse.

Besides the THC effect of hash seems to have no known neurochemical link to depression.

Just a few points

LSD has no side effects. I love it, its a pity its so unpopular.

Frankly, it was you leftist crackers who brought drugs into the cities... not finding nothing wrong with bringing drugs in... I think this is a plot to keep us wasting our money and staying in shitholes...
