I'm sure there's hundreds of other things that can increase brain levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Sorry, justifying marijuana usage stories don't fly by me. Dope is dope.

From the same story: "Excessive cannabis use in people with depression poses high risk of psychosis," said Dr. Gobbi.

more ignorance in action. what a shame that a generational barrier still haunts the medical community. Dope is dope ! Sound like a "dope" making the comment. We need to promote tolerance for alternatives to Doctors who think a pill can fix all emotional Ills. the journey continues

If consuming a plant, makes on a dope, then what about talking to an imaginary best friend and trying to convince others that its real and they should too? My favorite is that most people who bash cannabis use, have never used it.

Wake up. Get over yourself.
