I’m suddenly reminded of the movie “Reefer Madness”
That is very interesting. The value of double blind studies is to eliminate bias by preventing everyone involved from knowing which is the study group and which is the control. I would have thought that in a study of a psychoactive drug, it would be immediately apparent which group had received the placebo.
This is yet more evidence that marijuana is not as harmless as its legalization advocates have claimed. More such evidence will continue to accumulate as marijuana is legalized in more jurisdictions.
Paranoia - just one of those myths created to scare young folk straight so they will give up pot.
Won’t work. The kids were ALREADY a little nuts when they took up the smoking of rope. Maybe it’s genetic, maybe it’s environmental, but it takes a certain twist of personality to commence and continue the use of such an odd chemical combination, that has the capability to interact with the critical thinking centers of the mind, and not in a favorable way.
Many of these youth would have been paranoid even without the pot as a contributing factor.
When I first saw it, I thought it was over-the-top hyperbolic. Now, I’m not so sure. In view of current knowledge, it only seems slightly exaggerated.
I can absolutely testify to that being true. I smoked truck loads of reefer when I was a teen, and sometimes I would become so paranoid I’d just hide in the house!
Me too. (-;
but duuuuuuuudddde... it’s pure mother nature man, 100% safe and stuff man... inhaling this doctored, unfiltered weed is safer that anything else man.. you’re just a hater man.. it’ll cure everything man, it’s like, you know, perfect stuff man. it’s non addictive man, and just because I can’t live without it doesn’t mean I’m addicted man..
wait, wha...
Ouch.
I haven’t been this stunned since the revelation about the dog who bit the man.
As my Psych professor told my class, “It may be natural, but so is Cyanide.”
It’s just an herb man, if God did not want us to use it he would not have put it in the earth.
Go eat some toadstools.
Anyone wondering how the Nanny State has managed to take over our lives might do well to consider the consequences of three or four generations of paranoid people.
Ping to review paranoid responses.
Quit thinking about me.
So we should drink Hemlock?
