Happiness is a chemical state. It can be caused either by triggering a certain route of conditioned response, I.E. because you enjoy something in the world, or by injecting drugs. If someone can't find enjoyment in the world they suffer from a chemical imbalance, whether because they're just chemically fucked from the get go or because they've not received proper conditioning is irrelevant.
But my point is, is this a person who is depressed because they didnt get a ps3 game for their birthday type thing? Maybe they just havent found what actually makes them happy.

So everyone who says they are depressed should be given drugs to give them artifical happyness? Instead of treating the actual problem?

If I said I was depressed and the only thing that would make me happy is a 25 million dollar mansion with megan fox as my personal maid, do I automatically deserve that just because it would make me happy?
To go one step further...why does everybody deserve happyness? And dont anybody quote Jefferson, saying "its a fundamental human right"...he said "THE PERSUIT of happyness. Not "the entitlement" of happyness.
25 million dollar mansion with Megan Fox as a personal maid? Dude, a month's worth of citalopram, no insurance, is about 20 bucks. It doesn't make you happy, it just makes you a bit less bummed out.

Maybe not. Drugs may be one of the things that make them happy.

Well that’s the thing: they don’t deserve happiness or misery. Technically they don't deserve anything; either our tyranny, in restraining them from drugs, or our charity, in providing them with drugs.
Why would you pay more for medical Marijuana when you have some now?
That way I know I'm getting clean marijuana. Ihave had weed that tasted like windex and it made me go all stiff for a few hours and it wasnt a good high at all.
hahah thats funny man... dealers just put random shit in a baggie to make it look like you have more dope in it...
No its not that.
It's more like when the dope is being grown they spray it with stuff like febreeze witch can make you feel really sick after you smoke it.
