Maybe, but you can't blame antidepressants on suicide. Every drug has a long list of risks to cover their ass. Have you listened to the advertisements. All drugs can cause suicide, become impotent, heart damage and on and on.

Oh God! When I think back on some of the things I've done on booze in my misguided youth, it's a miracle I'm still alive.
All insight and judgement goes right out the window.

Prescription meds kill 5x more people than all illegal drugs combined.

Anti depressants do not kill anyone though unless they already wanted to kill themselves.

Very good point.

The fact is, pot has a huge medicinal value with absolutely zero side effects. Studies might show that heavy abuse lowers IQ, but I guarantee that heavy abuse of alcohol and scripts do far more damage. And another thing is all that wonderful music from the likes of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer... all Rastafarian known to smoke up to a pound a day. It (pot) seemed to inspire, rather than stupefy.

Anyone who voluntarily ingests a foreign substance to alter their state of mind is a moron.
