Smoking cannabis can induce psychosis-like effects, similar to the symptoms people diagnosed with schizophrenia endure, scientists have said.

While past research as come this this conclusion in the past, the mechanisms underlying these effects are less clear.

Now, a team of scientists at Yale School of Medicine have found the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC) increases random neural activity, known as neural noise, in the brains of healthy drug-users.

Notice that the Democrats are not pushing for detection and gun control against people with histories of “recreational” use of marijuana or other narcotics.

I understand that people smoke by themselves, but half a joint in one sitting is my question. I just read the article, and it appears the active ingredient (THC) was administered intravenously and not by smoking in the double blind study. So, the researchers were administering an amount comparable to 1/2 to a whole joint. Some how, it just doesn’t seem the same to be mainlined THC through a needle in your vein as opposed to the more traditional methods of smoking a joint over the course of an evening or day.

[[That’s generally the idea isn’t it?]]

No- it’s thought to produce euphoric effects- not psychotic effects-

I know a guy that, as far as I can tell, gets off only on the increased rush of taking a hit. He’ll sit and suck down 3 or 4 bonghits for breakfast, even out, do the morning routine...work, dealing with the public, etc. with a headful that incapacitates anyone else. Then it’s bonghits for lunch. He looks like a redneck cracker...I don’t think many people know how ripped he is. Been doing it for decades.

Wow - that is amazing. Made me think of some alcoholics I have known who appear to be normal after they have been drinking all day, and no one would know by their behavior and functionality that they are ripped. Sounds like most of our Govt. officials now that I think about it.

Yeah. This guy can’t drink. I’ve offered him beers just to be polite. He’ll down them in gulp...for the rush...and puke.

A “joint” is a meaningless quantity. How big? How strong? Indica or sativa? Huge variability.

“Shaikh al-Jabal (Old Man of the Mountain), were said to commit the murders required by their chief.”

A muslim name. Could be the murders were blamed on the hash to avoid offending muskies.

YEah. It’s not hard to function on it once you’re used to it. No one ever knew I used to do it at work unless I told them.
