NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who regularly smoke marijuana may find their memories growing hazy over time, a study published Monday suggests

DENVER — A new study conducted by researchers at the University at Albany, State University of New York concludes that marijuana users are less depressed.
In what was the largest-ever study of marijuana and depression, daily or weekly marijuana users had fewer symptoms of depression than non-users. Marijuana users were also more likely to report positive moods and fewer somatic complaints such as sleeplessness.

Well, of course. They can't remember enough to be worried about. Ignorance is bliss.

Yes, pot does prevent sleeplessness. Definitely. But then, when you wake up in the late morning, you don't feel like doing jumping jacks. You feel like you need an aspirin.

"Marijuana users were also more likely to report positive moods and fewer somatic complaints such as sleeplessness."

The conclusion? Can it actually make some more productive and happy than they might otherwise be?
