Actually you've displayed you'll twist anything your eyes see to suit your purpose. If the statistics of a study show that teens who smoke pot have psychosis, you announce it's evidence for your agenda. When information from the same study reveals teens had psychosis before they ever used pot, you declare it's disinformation from pro-pot sources...yet the statistics come from the same study you cite.

Whether this study proves the evils of pot or is lies spread by pot activists, it appears, changes strictly according to your convenience and the desire to prove your position. Reminds me of global warming...they'll take one page out of a study to support their claims and people who insist on reading the rest of the text are a menace to society.

Whether you like it or not, the study says nothing more than that teens may have psychotic symptoms if they've never taken drugs or if they're taking drugs, and that there's a definite link to people with mental issues seeking relief or oblivion in psychoactive medication. And that's all the study says...and in addition, states specifically that they couldn't prove marijuana directly caused increased incidents of psychosis. Now, in your own private little re-interpretation of reality those scientists might be pro-pot Dutchmen for not supporting your position as much as you'd like, but you can't report one part of the study as being justification for your prohibition campaign and another part of the study as being pot legalization propaganda without looking like a schizophrenic, yourself.

Incidentally, although they cannot scientifically prove marijuana causes psychosis, they can however scientifically, chemically and medically prove that in some individuals caffeine produces a mental disorder called Stimulant Psychosis. So since you're definitely on the prohibition trail for drugs that induce mental dysfunctions, may one presume you'll be petitioning Congress to have all the Starbuck's boarded up, right away? ;^)

[[If the statistics of a study show that teens who smoke pot have psychosis,]]

that is NOT what the study indicated- it indicated an increase in events-

[[If the statistics of a study show that teens who smoke pot have psychosis, you announce it’s evidence for your agenda.]]

That’s not even remotely close to what I was saying- and you’re accusing me of twisting htings?

[[When information from the same study reveals teens had psychosis before they ever used pot,]]

Again, that’s not what the study said- I said in my first reply to you that words were improtant- The studies indicated that SOME kids may have been predisposed- I eplied to that statement

[[Whether this study proves the evils of pot or is lies spread by pot activists, it appears, changes strictly according to your convenience and the desire to prove your position.]]

Yeah, ok-

[[Reminds me of global warming...they’ll take one page out of a study to support their claims and people who insist on reading the rest of the text are a menace to society.]]

Again, read the study, it wasn’t abotu hwether peopel who have psychosis smoke pot- it was abotu hte effect of drugs on events

[[So since you’re definitely on the prohibition trail for drugs that induce mental dysfunctions,]]

I am? I said that where again? Thansk for informaing me, I wasn’t aware I was on any trail-

I siomply indicated that the article appeared to be posted with a pro drug bent- because it wasn’t carefulyl worded and sloppily written- Not sure how that puts me on the ‘prohibition trail’ but whatever-
