Full Title: Strong cannabis causes one in four cases of psychosis: Users three times more likely to have an episode than those who have never tried it ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª As many as a quarter of new cases of psychotic mental illness can be blamed on super-strength strains of cannabis, scientists will warn this week. The potent form of the drug – known as ‘skunk’ – is so powerful that users are three times more likely to have a psychotic episode than those who have never tried it.

Or it could be those that smoke the stuff are already nuts and the stuff just makes them even nuttier than a fruitcake?

No wonder California is full of fruits, nuts, and flakes!

We?

Who’s we?

What else don’t people need Mr. lamp?

Should more laws, restrictions, fines and fees be enacted? Cage more people?

No, we don't have to be "fair" to pot. We have no moral obligation to add another source of misery, death and destruction to our society.

"Add"?! 49% of Americans have used pot.

Marijuana does cause mental problems without a doubt with young users...permanent ones. And, chronic users become addicted and have the same problems associated with other drugs.

The misinformation out there is appalling as one delves into the real science of the drug to help a child.

There are long term and ongoing efforts by Libertarians to deliberately mislead people regarding the dangers of drugs.

Everything presented as beneficial about pot they spread constantly, and anything detrimental they ignore or ridicule. (Comparisons to Alcohol are constant, though highly fallacious. )

The guy that shot Chris Kyle (The American Sniper) was a pot-head who smoked dope the day he killed him and his friend.

He was a piker. The great mass murderer Stalin always drank alcohol...

What does this mean Mr. lamp? Does this mean alcohol has the potential of turning people into historic mass murderers?

And here is our number one Drug Pusher on Free Republic back to doing his regular job of pushing and defending drugs and drug usage.

By the way, here is just the latest dope addict in the news after having done something psychotic and crazy.

This is the guy who killed Chris Kyle. (The American Sniper.)

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Authorities found a marijuana grinder, a bong, a mostly empty bottle of whiskey and ammunition while searching the home of a former Marine charged with killing the author of American Sniper and his friend, a Texas Ranger testified Friday.

New evidence was presented in the murder trial of Eddie Routh on Friday. According to testimony, marijuana and other drug paraphernalia were found inside the suspects home the night he was arrested.

Routh's uncle, James Watson, 45, later testified that he smoked marijuana the day of the killings with his nephew.

You are the dope pushing troll on this website. Adults have to spend far too much time pushing back against your dope pushing agenda.

That is horrible. Here is another one of those victims that the Libertarians say doesn't exist when it comes to drugs.

[DiogenesLamp]

Who’s we?

All of society that has to pick up the pieces of people's lives ruined by dope smokers. You know, taxpayers.

Should more laws, restrictions, fines and fees be enacted? Cage more people?

Nah, i'm in favor of just killing dope dealers. Kill enough of them, and the problem will go away in a generation or two.

[DiogenesLamp]

"Add"?! 49% of Americans have used pot.

I will believe that just as fast as I believe the homosexual propaganda that says 20% of the population is homosexual.

No it isn't. Stop spreading your lies.

Only under your deranged personal definitions of "pushing" and "defending", deceiver.

What does this mean Mr. lamp? Does this mean alcohol has the potential of turning people into historic mass murderers?

No, that would be atheism and socialism. Alcohol generally kills people by the individuals and by the car load, not by the millions. And generally even then it's an accident, rather than a deliberate psychotic episode like Weed Smoking psychotic nut job Jared Lee Loughner and his Gabby Giffords rampage.

Weed smoking psychotic nut job pictured below.

As a matter of fact, it's getting hard to NOT find a Marijuana connection to the various rampaging nuts out there.

I doubt you miss a single dope thread. Every time I see you in one of these threads, you are making excuses for weed and other dope. You constantly crank out misleading statements and arguments in an effort to convince others to go along with the legalizing drugs agenda.

You have publicly stated that you believe all drugs should be legalized, and you routinely conflate the term "freedom" with drug indulgence. (Something that has absolutely nothing to do with "freedom" as the term has been historically understood. )

No, I think the charge that you are a dope pusher is well founded.

[DiogenesLamp]

I have no interest in looking at any of your sources. You Libertarians have been making up data for the last 50 years, and i’ve had my fill of even pretending to look at it as credible.

You Libertarians have been making up data

But one can't make up stuff like calling the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration "Libertarian" - unless one has the fevered mind of a Drug Warrior.

Drug dealers already kill competing drug dealers, yet they do stay in this risky business - and when one falls he is quickly replaced.

Thanks for looking that up, Mikey. I seem to have a recall of that connection down in the dim recesses of my memory.
