I'm willing to wager that the rabid Emocrats (Move.On, etc.) people have been heavy cannabis users since their early teen years. Why else would they display such psychotic behavior when their Messiah is uncloaked?

Maybe mary jane is not the harmless drug the drug propagandists say it is.

If one reads pro narcotic websites such as Libertarian Reason Magazine and witnesses the lack of coherent reasoning in their comments section, one knows that cannibis can certainly lead to psychosis.

This can’t be true. I have read on this site that canabis is a miracle cure for everything.

Dude, where's my psychosis?

Refer madness!

Kinda akin to the “hockey stick graph” which connects CO2 and air temp... it is possible to have the correlation be true, but the causation be reverse of what the “experts” predict.

Most of the heavy pot users I’ve met started very early with tobacco and alcohol. Before that, you can almost predict who’s gonna be a user. It is my contention... and the contention of any number of substance abuse professionals... that people with psychological issues self-medicate with these substances.

In other words (Clift notes alert!) it is possible that early onset of psychological difficulties is connected to pot smoking due to people self medicating, as opposed to pot smoking causing the difficulties.

Imagine that. Placing a large amount of toxins in your body causes damage. I am amazed.

Cannabis linked to earlier psychosis onset

No way dude!!!

[USNBandit]

Oh, now you gone and done it! Prepare to be attacked by the FReedopers. You post an article like this and they attack like rabid dogs. It's like they suffer from psychosis or something.

Duck and Cover!

This study still doesn’t rule out whether these people were already messed up and used lots of drugs to treat their problems. People with mental health problems gravitate toward alcohol and drugs. Their lives tend to be miserable and they self medicate, or “party” in an attempt to feel better. Are there more instances of serious mental illness in states where use of marijuana is highest? No, not according to our government numbers.

I don't know. I have too but no psychosis. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

The wording is kind of interesting, in that it discusses earlier onset of psychosis, psychosis at an earlier age. Does this suggest that the folks would have become psychotic anyway, and reefer brought it on sooner? All of the test subjects were treated for psychoses, and the users got it earlier than the non-users.

Does this study really tell us that using pot will make you psychotic? No test subjects using marijuana but without a psychotic episode were studied.

If the message is that mentally ill people tend to self-medicate more than those not mentally ill, can I get a big 'well, duh!' from the studio audience?

Bottom line for me? Those against marijuana usage tend to gravitate towards the studies that demonstrate its harm, while those who are users tend to gravitate towards the studies that show the opposite.

Having come of age in the very early '70s (born in '58), it would just seem that I would know a LOT more people with psychoses, given the prevelance of marijuana usage back in the day (and continuing on to this day).

All of the Dopertarians will be here with pseudoscience to disprove this.

[mysterio]

More reefer madness. Did they also discover that it makes women more likely to have intercourse with jazz musicians and inspires men to murder their whole families? That's what I heard from the drug warriors.

Either way, let's kick in some doors and shoot some dogs so we can make sure nobody has this plant.
