I think this has ALOT to do with prohibition. I use cannabis to treat depression verses the SSRI's I used to take and become zombified. I don't smoke it as some escape caveat(I haven't smoked in over a month) but when it comes down to taking your own life or smoking a spliff and attacking things from a different angle. Well, I think we all know the right path

.
It just goes to show that all these pharmacists slaving hours in dark rooms with bright lights trying to imitate nature, are wasting our time(in some cases).
