It
but the self-proclaimed treatment experts there at PFC they say that smoking pot causes depression which would ultimately lead to its users killing themselves.
They are fucking liars with no evidence to back up their bullshit assertions. Show me credible evidence of that happening ONCE in thousands of years. SSRI antidepressants are statistically much worse and they are not only
legal, they are ENCOURAGED......I wonder why marijuana gets the bad rap...maybe 'cause you can easily grow it yourself and not have to fork over $$$$ to a pharmaceutical giant or an alcohol-industry conglomerate.
What's a parent to do? On one hand these so called experts talk all official-like you know, like they know what is going on, but the actual physical evidence to support their claim appears to be sorely lacking in quantity and factual basis.
That's why it's not just a "drug issue", it's an issue of education, common sense, and all-around distrust of so-called "experts" who don't have any facts to back up their statements, whether it is about marijuana, global warming, the threat of terrorism, UFOs, the energy crunch, pro wrestling, international banking interests, nutrtional information on McDonald's packages, or the Bavarian Illuminati. A general healthy skepticism being developed regarding claims made about the "dangers of marijuana" would be a great start.
A more correct statement would be that pot doesn't cause depression. It's been growing for millions of years... why blame it? :rasta:
An even more accurate statement would be that pot actually is a MORE EFFECTIVE
treatment for depression than many, if not all, commonly presribed medications, in addition to it's many other documented medical and pharmacological BENEFITS. It is blamed precisely
because it has been growing for millions of years---it can't be patented, and therefore CONTROLLED, or sold to you at obscene profit were it legally allowed for ANYONE to grow cannabis. Follow the $$$$ made by it's illegal status, and you will see to whose advantage the current legal set-up was created.
