Do you have links to the studies that show this? I'd be interested in reading them. I'm especially interested in the claim about depression.
I have read about direct links between alcohol and diseases. Don't get me wrong, I still drink. But, I also know what diseases I can get from making that choice. My old roommate was a pathologist and would get drunk and tell me which organs alcohol affected and the diseases it creates. It all goes back to choice. I believe the facts should be readily available to all so that each individual can make what ever choice they choose.
Waiting for your links to back your claims. Thanks in advance.
Papers /studies ? is that all you believe in though ?

So, admit it, you were speaking out of your arse. You have nothing to back your claims. I knew it.
In the end, marijuana has more benefit than detriment, and you and "your ilk" can't disprove that claim. I can back my claims and I do back my claims. I dare you to bring it on. You can't, that is why you attack me.

That's my choice, and am well aware of the cost.
But, at least I know how to spell.
We're talking about pot here. Back your claims...if you can.I dare you. I double dawg dare you.

Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.
None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.
In 1972, after reviewing the scientific evidence, the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been grossly overstated. Since then, researchers have conducted thousands of studies of humans, animals, and cell cultures. None reveal any findings dramatically different from those described by the National Commission in 1972. In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."
Marijuana has been shown to be effective in reducing the nausea induced by cancer chemotherapy, stimulating appetite in AIDS patients, and reducing intraocular pressure in people with glaucoma. There is also appreciable evidence that marijuana reduces muscle spasticity in patients with neurological disorders. A synthetic capsule is available by prescription, but it is not as effective as smoked marijuana for many patients. Pure THC may also produce more unpleasant psychoactive side effects than smoked marijuana.
