Did the study take into account that perhaps depressed people self medicate?

Of course not ... the government's not after the truth.

"Of course not ... the government's not after the truth."

Usually in these situations, the government is half right. It is conceivable that when you become a pothead at age 13, it would alter your brain development. I do know many people who are depressed, who smoke pot, and they didn't start until adulthood. The things is...I do not feel feel threatened by potheads, that they'll kill me for my wallet for their next fix. And potheads can generally hold down a regular job, minus a few more brain cells every Monday. The war should be on meth and heroin, not marijuana. In fact, I'd like to see this paranoid government do more research on the medicinal qualities of marijuana. The war on drugs prevents them from funding such research.
