From the page: "Dubbed "the bliss molecule" for its similarities to the active ingredient in marijuana, anandamide is a neurotransmitter that is part of the brain's endocannabinoid system and it has been shown in studies by Piomelli and others to play analgesic, anti-anxiety and antidepressant roles." Now ... I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, if one's brain has an "endocannabinoid system" in the first place, that perhaps regular old garden-variety cannabis might have the same effects? Oh, wait ... "Marijuana itself has shown no clinical use for depression." Right. Because if a pharmaceutical company doesn't have its finger stuck in there somewhere, it can't possibly be good for anything.

"Marijuana itself has shown no clinical use for depression."

Hmm, I guess laughing until your face hurts is not considered a help for depression.

From the page: "This story has been adapted from a news release issued by the University of California, Irvine"

Second time today -- true, if by "adapted" they mean "copied word for word". Stumble the source release instead:

From the page: ""These findings raise the hope that the mood-elevating properties of marijuana can be harnessed to treat depression " Piomelli said. "Marijuana itself has shown no clinical use for depression. However specific drugs that amplify the actions of natural marijuana-like transmitters in the brain are showing great promise.""
