daily marijuana use side effects includes psychotic episodes. Sounds about right.
That is reefer madness nonsense. There is no medical evidence that cannabis has ever caused any damage to the brain or body. Not a single case in over 5000 years of use. Nor is there any proof that it causes any psychological issues or permanent physical changes.
Alcohol,on the other hand,is 100% proven and guaranteed to cause permanent damage to every organ of the body when abused. Alcohol is 100% proven to be a direct trigger for blacked-out violence in some people - when they wake up in jail not knowing why. We usually don't see the full extent of damage because a failed liver or alcohol poisoning claims most alcoholics before everything else has a chance to rot.
Yes, there is a correlation between crazy people using more cannabis but that does not prove it caused their issues. For example: schizophrenics smoke 350% more tobacco than the general population but that does not in any way prove tobacco caused it. They also drink 200-300% more alcohol than most people.

That's what I'm thinking too. Maybe he can use the bipolar defense, but I'm guessing he hasn't been diagnosed yet.
