What are the reasons doctors prescribe weed to people with depression if weed itself causes depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a depression tx: You've got it right, there is some data that marijuana use in a population is associated with decreased suicide rates, many find it affects anxiety (which can co-occur with depression) but marijuana is contraindicated for depression for most people.
