this one talks more of damage to developing brains:

From what I read, I don't think marijuana can damage the brain the way I thought it could. I just know people that have smoked it for years that are hurting to remember the simplest of things. Just as with psychiatric medications, everyone's reaction is different.

I am all for medicinal uses of marijuana and the legalization of marijuana, I just don't think it has it's place in treating depression/anxiety. If anything, it will make the depression/anxiety worse over time.
