Wow, that was fucking awesome.
I felt incredibly bad for the poor guy for the first couple of minutes, then he took a few hits and boom, he's completely normal and relaxed.
After watching this i can't help but wonder how in the fuck is weed still illegal.
I mean, it'd be so much better for everyone if you could just buy guaranteed quality weed from the store, instead of having to buy the stuff from some shady-ass dealer who may or may not have laced it with some weird shit

I wouldn't say he shouldn't. However he should be aware of the fact that if you decide to use it to help depression chances are you will get emotionally addicted to it.
Trust me people say you can't get addicted to weed but you can. Not physically, but to the mental state that it gives you. If I don't get to smoke any in any given day I will get really restless and usually start pacing around the house with the feeling of "I want to do something but don't know what."
I can say that if you medicate with weed for depression, it has to be treated with respect and should be part of your plan on getting better (in terms of getting your life together, you can't just will your way out of neurochemical imbalances) and not just a coping method. You need to maintain control over the drug because it will create emotional dependence.
It's important to not smoke some days so you don't forget what being sober is like. You will also develop a tolerance over time and will stop getting high, basically, until you're smoking so much that you land in the anxiety and paranoia zone of "too much THC" (with street weed, at least; THC-low med-specific strains are a bit different in effect). The only way to regain tolerance is to not smoke for a while. Preferably in the summer when the weather's great, even if you don't suffer from Seasonal Affectivity Disorder.
However, getting physically addicted to morphine, Oxy, and even anti-anxiety tranquilizers is easy, so weed is hardly alone in this.

There is no "actual" solution to malfunctioning neurochemistry except to supplement it with a chemical or some kind or another.
You could take Lithium, a long-standing antidepressant and bipolar treatment. But, once you start taking Lithium, you're taking it for the rest of your life; discontinuing it throws you into miles-deep pits of depression as your brain suddenly goes into withdrawal and can't cope with not having the supplement.
Other prescription antidepressants are supplements to your brain chemistry in the same way, although discontinuation effects vary.
Weed is only another supplement to a system that isn't working quite right.
On the other hand, if the depression is situational, then weed or any other drug has to be considered a tool on the road to changing your life for the better, not a destination.
