Is marijuana better than prozac (fluoxetine) for depression?

Cannabis & Depress'n: Marijuana worsens depression & anxiety. Users feel temporary relief from these problems but long term use decreases serotonin levels, leading to increased depression & anxiety. The temporary relief is not "feeling better." rather, as one former user described, "it lowers my give-a-damn quotient." apathy does not = feellng good. However, exercise can help some types of mild depression & anxiety.

No: Marijuana can cause psychiatric illne, including depression.
