Like Prozac may act (nobody is entirely sure how each SSRI actually functions), synthetic cannaboids may stimulate new brain cell growth, reducing anxiety and depression. [New Scientist]

    I think that this needs to be advertised on television. And maybe some people wouldn’t look down on it and maybe even legalize it.
    Because I highly believe anything anyone does on their own time and not doing it while in the work place and it is not causing anyone any harm, just like drinking if anyone smokes marijuana they shouldn’t drive. This drug doesn’t hurt anyone, looks like that you all have proven this fact. It also helps cancer, and severe athritis patience not to hurt so bad, gives a better appetite, and definitely helps the depression that they go through. I believe that alcohol is more harmful to your health than marijuana. Alcohol causes high blood pressure, liver problems, stomach problems,and some people severe alcoholism. You have cigarettes they are also highly addictive and they cause severe health problems such as COPD, high blood pressure, and causes cancer. The way I’ve always heard it is that marijuana may be addictive I don’t know because I did use this substance in my past when I was younger smoked marijuana everyday for a time in my life time. Then when I started having my children I quit smoking, and tell you the truth I had no withdrawals from quiting. So I actually don’t believe it is addictive. It was harder for me to quit smoking cigarettes than it was to quit smoking marijuana. But it does get you out of depression when you feel down. And when your nervous it calms you down. So actually most of the drugs that most doctors prescribe to people that have mental problems with drepression, nerves, anxiety, that could actually overdose on probably could become obselete.

    Yer damn skippy it stimulates brain growth, now shut up and pass me the damn mallomars and be quick about it! =:-p

    Why do you think the government wants to keep weed away? Because of the lobby money from the drug companies. Why else would there be a strain made by the government that sucks ass and is pawned off on very sick people, then they turn around and say it’s the devil’s weed? Because when you smoke good, high quality weed, it will help. Nervous? Smoke an indicia. It’ll calm your ass down. Need a kick? Smoke a sativa. You’ll be able to plow through whatever you needed to do. Take it easy, inhale, hold, then exhale. Puff puff give my brother. Don’t bogart and bring some snacks, we’ll be here a while.

    Everything in moderation though, you still are inhaling smoke. Get a vaporizer and that problem will be solved.

    Honestly, this really doesn’t suprise me.

    One of my good friends, who also happens to be one of the smartest people I know is a chemical engineer and smokes buds numerous times a day. He is nearly always high. To top it off, he used to be on anti-depressants, paxil to be exact, and once he started smoking regularly he was able to drop the drugs and be find with just his marijuana.

    I’m not the biggest pot advocate on the planet, but this article really didn’t come as a shocker to me. I guess marijuana actually may be more productive than most people tend to believe.

    I have used marijuana daily for over five years now after many years seeking a solution to my depression and bipolar… successfully. And this is with my doctor’s approval.

    Now, if the stuff didn’t cost so much.
