Depression, teens and marijuana are a dangerous mix that can lead to dependency, mental illness or suicidal thoughts, according to a White House report being released Friday.
A teen who has been depressed at some point in the past year is more than twice as likely to have used marijuana as teens who have not reported being depressed — 25 percent compared with 12 percent, said the report by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

"Marijuana is a more consequential substance of abuse than our culture has treated it in the last 20 years," said John Walters, director of the office. "This is not just youthful experimentation that they'll get over as we used to think in the past."

This isn't the first time an article like this appeared lol. You think they're going to make articles encouraging marijuana use? oooook.

"It's not something you look the other way about when your teen starts appearing careless about their grooming, withdrawing from the family..."

^^^^ It's called being a teenage jesus. Weed got me through some tough times and I don't smoke anymore.... rarely, and I have no effects =/

I say keep toking

Long term use will yield brain cell damage and noticeable effects. I don't think that occasional use will cause too many problems.

I think the government is always right, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy would not lie about this.

Anybody else notice the timing of this report coming out shortly after the introduction of Congressman Barney Frank's legalization bill?

Of course, everything that comes out of the WH is true - you have made me realize this.

yeah, what a coincidence.

but huh, yeah no sh!t - marijuana is a depressent. Let's not even bring up all of the FDA drugs that are approved to help prevent depression but yet there was an increase of patients prescribed that committed ******* - that drug worked great!!!!

If NORML could get the financial backing some of these drug companies have it would more than likely eventurally be de-criminilized.
