I think that, like most psychoactive drugs, marijuana has different effects on different people. I can understand why you'd have a very negative attitude about mj if you feel it made you more depressed, but please realise that not everybody has the same neurochemical makeup as you. Some people get more depressed and/or anxious on SSRIs, tricyclics, benzos, and many other drugs; that doesn't mean that these drugs are "bad" (even if it would be possible to ascribe moral attributes to an inanimate substance).
