I don't know about depression, but it helps me with my anxiety. I've just figured out recently that I probably have ADD, and small amounts of marijuana actually helps me to concentrate on one thing at a time (as opposed to thinking about 5 or more things at a time, and being driven crazy). I say small amounts because if I get straight up high, I'm just a lump, but I get that way sometimes when I'm having trouble sleeping or when I'm super anxious. I have Xanax for when I need to be completely sober, but it gives me headaches sometimes, which the marijuana does not. Thankfully I live in a state that condones medical use of marijuana.
I think creating a medicine that gives the same good effects of marijuana without smoking is great for those that really do not want to smoke or eat it, but this country needs to make that an alternative to the herbal remedy, not a replacement. But, as it stands, this will just make some drug execs very rich.
