When a human is depressed, their ability to get addicted to things does grow. Consider this, if you're really upset, and you smoke weed, and it does make you happier. On your come down, you will feel bad (if not worse) and you'll want to be happier again. Mental judgement will go out the window and the body will start to crave it.
Just because it's not as bad as some other drugs, still doesn't mean it isn't bad. And when used in bulk, weed can be quite harmful.
I actually know a few programmers who use weed. It's their way of dealing with the stress professional programming can bring.
Actually, Tib, you don't feel depressed when comin' down. You just sorta..don't think. It's not like anything, you're just in sort of a drone for about 2 hours, but that's depending on how much you have.

It sucks that you lost a friend, but it'll look even more sucky on your death certificate if it says "cause of death: cat", so I'd urge you to pull on through the dark times just to avoid that possible eventuality.

This, of course, makes me a hypocrite, since I drink alcohol. =P In moderation of course.
The main thing that makes me uneasy about pot is its supposed links to schizophrenia.
