Canuckadans? Depressed?
I’d be depressed too if I was stuck in that God-forsaken third world shithole.
Just about everyone feels that mental illness has increased in the past 5 - 10 years. Everything feels off. People are different. Public areas are haunted by “Karens”. There is so much “disinformation” — who can you trust? What is real?
I’m sure there are multiple reasons for this current state of widespread unease. But cannabis usage is certainly a factor.
All these psychoactive drugs that work on dopamine and serotonin levels and receptors are poison.
I watched this development personally in 25 years of working as an EMS first responder. Pot is obviously associated with increased mental illness. I have been ridiculed right here in River City for making this observation for many, many years. Booze are bad; pot is worse.
I remember how this sometimes caused me depression in the 80s when I could not find any.
Today I could care less.
There is huge correlation between marihuana use and schizophrenia.
And smoking dope causes cancer and all other health problems associated with cigarettes.
just wait until they discover pot smoke gives you lung cancer the same as cigaretes
I don’t know, but I’m getting depressed reading this article....
Control the allowed THC amount, it’s too strong these days.
Overdoing anything is bad.
The same exact thing can be said of ALCOHOL use. ALCOHOL is poisonous to the body.
Liberals are always depressed and anxious.
Is the cannabis use causing the depression or is the user’s depression leading to the cannabis use? Causation or correlation?
““We see that Canadians who use cannabis tend to be more likely to meet criteria for anxiety and depressive disorders, and more likely to report suicidality,”
****************************
Correlation is not causation. Many people with mental disorders seek out these drugs to self medicate but the establishment keeps suggesting the drugs are the cause of those mental disorders which is bs.
THC has increased more than ten times in pot over the past couple of decades. Pot is now a strong hallucinogenic drug. There are going to be psychological side effects.
“We see that Canadians who use cannabis tend to be more likely to meet criteria for anxiety and depressive disorders, and more likely to report suicidality,” said Jillian Halladay, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing at McMaster. Just switch to LSD professor...non-habit forming.
***to meet criteria for anxiety and depressive disorders,***
We had a man hauling ash for us from the power Plant decades ago. One day he was arrested for killing another driver over a drug deal. When he was arrested his trailer house was FILTHY with roaches and rotted food everywhere. A photo showed him with his hair clear down to his belt.
