Long term pot smoking results in mental illness. Who’d a thunk it?

As my dad would say: Let them smoke themselves to death.
Their brains are fried, what can medicine do?
Long term drinking destroys brain tissue,(’’wet brain’’; take a look at Ozzy Osbourne) destroys the liver, burns out the esophageal lining, and can lead to pancreatitis , fetal alcohol syndrome among other things.
According to a study done years ago the Justice Department
did a survey and fount that almost 65% of violent offenders who committed sexual assault, domestic violence, armed robbery, manslaughter and murder were under the influence of alcohol during the commission of these crimes.
It is known that THC can cause schizophrenia/psychosis in some people, it has been known for years, even in people who are NOT genetically predisposed to psychosis. It’s a low risk, but it’s a risk. No one should be surprised that the more openly this drug is used, that more mental health problems are developed.
“Cannabis and schizophrenia/psychosis have a close relationship. We have evidence suggesting that cannabis use, primarily THC in cannabis, in genetically predisposed or at-risk populations, leads to earlier diagnosis of psychosis/schizophrenia. This tells us that THC in cannabis has a small causative effect on schizophrenia. THC in cannabis also makes schizophrenia and psychosis symptoms worse and causes more relapses and hospitalizations. Neuroimaging studies show the detrimental effect of cannabis on brain morphology, especially adolescent brains. Recent trials in therapeutic CBD use are showing its alleviating effect on positive symptoms of schizophrenia and its opposing effect on THC, which warrants further research. Although CBD shows therapeutic potential, there is still more harm from cannabis than benefits, and adolescent cannabis usage should be discouraged at all costs. We still need more extensive studies for more detailed data about cannabis and its effects.”
