what difference does it make if it gets the job done for them?
I don't think it gets the job done. There isn't any good evidence that marijuana use cures depression. There are other treatments that are more effective.

There isn't good evidence for SSRIs either, but that doesn't stop you from insisting everybody pay for them. Physical exercise is proven to be effective, and it costs nothing.

Nothing cures depression but time, if it's just a case of the blues, if it's more a chronic brain damage. Then not even Pills "Cure" depression.
I work with a guy that is in his 50's, he says he's been depressed since he was 21. He sits at his desk with blue LED lights shining on his face. He says that actually helps. It looks like a bunch of hooey to me, but he swears by it.

If it works, that's great. It's just that the evidence shows marijuana doesn't work that well as a treatment for depression. It's supposedly really good for nausea and glaucoma, but for depression, not so much.
Why are you so hell bent on depressed people smoking weed when there are other treatments that actually show results? Seems like a narrow view to me. Insisting that marijuana is the only good treatment isn't being any more open minded than others insisting pills are the only good treatment. I think that's the main problem with the "alternative" crowd. You just assume anything that you perceive as "alternative" is automatically good, and anything that's "mainstream" is automatically bad. That's actually a much more rigid outlook than the medical profession which you decry.

Smoking weed doesn't cure anything.

Hint the word "Study" was used in every paragraph. Study has become one of those marginalized words, that Libs like to throw around to give their injection indisputable scientific credence.
From 1995 to 1996, consumption of drinks such as soda, tea, fruit punch and coffee was evaluated in 263,925 adults. About 10 years later, researchers asked the participants whether they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. A total of 11,311 people said yes.
The researchers acknowledge the study does not prove a cause and effect. In other words, it could be that people who are depressed tend to drink more soda.
Though if you take the time to peruse on how many people in the US are depressed you'll get conflicting results depending on the "Study".
