Alcohol is a depressant. THC is either given its own classification (cannabinoid), or is lumped with hallucinogens (LSD, psilocybin, etc.) If you found one formal reference to pot being a depressant, I'd be impressed.

You could be addicted to carrots if you had an adverse response to not being able to have your daily sticks, juice, shreds, whatever. Recognizing mental addiction is difficult, because you might think someone is crazy for being addicted to carrots. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, or maybe they are both addicted and crazy. Having a response to something you're denied is addiction, whether receptors in your brain cause the response, or you convincing yourself you really need said something is the cause. Point is -- mental addiction is universally accepted by medical and mental health experts. And this information is universally discussed in any formal reference.

check the properties.

If you follow the link
http://home.epix.net/~renjilia/PSY420.htm
to the course outline at the bottom, the link you reference has the title Hallucinogens. The link on this same page titled Depressants/Inhalents has under it drugs such as barbituates and benzodiazepines, which are (CNS) depressants. In fact, the course outline gives the most common classifications: depressants, stimulants, opiates, hallucinogens, and steroids. Alcohol and pot are singled out for the obvious reasons.

Because pot has the outward effect of a depressant doesn't mean it has the physiological effect of a depressant, and the physiological effect is the basis for how drugs are classified in this scheme. Depressant as a classification and depressant as a perceived characteristic are two different things.
