    3) Molecular biology suggests that an anti-inflammatory non-toxic compound like THC, especially in low doses, is neuroprotective rather than neurotoxic. The neurogenic theory of major depressive disorder would suggest that cannabinoids are beneficial to youths with brain pathologies, resulting in a strong association with causation in the opposite direction.
