Well, I hope people are consistent and extrapolate their beliefs for prescription drug abuse, prescription drugs, fast foods, processed foods, animal products, etc due to effects of it on humans.
At any rate, a lot of people will mention to get help for depression or other psychological help, but I never really see anyone talk about the side effects of it.
If you compare marijuana to Prozac (the first thing that came to mind), which is worst?
The following is a list of the potential side effects of Prozac (yikes!!!):
In clinical studies, the most common side effects of Prozac included:
Insomnia -- in up to 33 of people (see Prozac and Insomnia)
Nausea -- up to 29 percent
Weakness -- up to 21 percent

There are a number of less common, but more serious side effects of Prozac that you should report immediately to your healthcare provider, including, but not limited to:
Suicidal thoughts or behavior (see Prozac and Suicide)
Anxiety, agitation, or panic attacks
Hostility or aggressiveness
Engaging in unusual or dangerous activities

Signs of an allergic reaction, including unexplained rash, hives, itching, unexplained swelling, wheezing, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
There are other possible problems that can occur in people taking Prozac. These rare side effects occur in less than 1 percent of people. For these side effects, it is difficult to tell whether they are actually caused by the medication itself or something else.
Some of these rare but possible Prozac side effects include, but are not limited to:

Leg cramps
Acne

^^^I really doubt pot has that most side effects and the potential severity of it.
