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.

They have been lying about “mary jane” for years. The only reason is those that want it are in power, and now they have it. Secondly, the money in taxes, but that has been going on for years in illicit trade and sale. Reagan was right—it only takes a generation for this country to go and now you see the results of the sixties and seventies flower children having taken control. Woe is us....

Man, I’m glad all we had was junk Mexican weed back in my youth. I would have been even crazier than I am now, if it’d been stronger.

Yeah, that’s what one of my clients thought before he smoked some spice...and then took a demolition tool to his two year old son’s head.

What’s the difference between a drunk driver & a stoned driver?
The drunk driver will blow right past a stop sign. The stoned driver will sit & wait for it to turn green.

I haven’t seen psychosis but I see a lot of my friends who still smoke living their lives dead in the water. Completely stunted growth.
They say I’m no fun anymore but I’m not 17 years old and “fun” for me has matured.

Spice is a synthetic semi-organic product with an active chemical ingredient intended to interact with the same chemical receptors in the brain as THC. Because it is not THC, the different chemical compounds were legal, until legislatures began banning them. Not all spice is the same compound. One common compound, UR-144, has been linked with a number of psychotic episodes. Even it’s creator says it is too dangerous for human consumption.

I grew up in N California and we had skunk weed. It smells a bit like a skunk.
This sort of weed has been around a long time. I guess it wasn’t everywhere.
These powerful strains were developed by people with botany degrees.

Results of this study point in one direction... admit to smoking pot to a P.A.
(because all the M.D.s bagged it due to Øbamacare) and you roll 1d4 at having your right to bear arms permanently revoked.

I’d bet he’s smoked it consistently since his first encounter with .The CHOOM.
