THE BIG CHOOMER

The call for action from scientists in the UK, US, Europe and Australia reflects a growing consensus among experts that frequent cannabis use can increase the risk of psychosis...In the UK, cannabis is the most popular illegal drug, and according to Public Health England data, more young people enter treatment centres for help with cannabis than any other drug, alcohol included.

That was posted through a proxy, by the way. ;-)
Reefer Madness?
This explains all the weirdness going on in academia right now.
Of course, advocates will try to explain this away by saying that these people were psychotic to begin with. Imagine that!
But......it ISN’T that big dreaded, capitalist TOBACCO that kills you and your pets, too! How can psychosis be something concern ninnies are worried about? Does it affect Gaia in any way? We concerned ninnies want to know.
Correlation and causation aren’t the same thing.
A correlation argument could be made to “prove” that overeating snack foods is a risk factor for marijuana smoking.
In the present case, it may be that psychotic people are more likely than others to want to use marijuana (perhaps to alleviate mental pain). Does that make marijuana worse than Thorazine? Can’t tell on the surface, it would need other studies.

Don’t mock, or you start to look like the medical equivalent of the AGW crowd. That could be exactly the kind of mind condition that wants pot more than the rest of people want pot.
Well, then there is this:
Boys who smoke cannabis ‘are four inches shorter’

The libs hate this kind of consensus, it doesn’t fit their agenda.
One need look no further than Colorado for the impact of chronic pot use
The pain of being viewed as runts and/or the pleasure of being tall? An age factor too? Single factor correlations like this suggest openings for future research, but dragging them out as purported proofs on their own dumbs science down to the AGW level.
Yeah: they keep on voting for Ted Cruz!
with the roxys, oxys, percs, vicos, Xanax, klonopin, valium, hydrocodone, hydroxyzine, that big pharma sells, they’re worried about pot.
disclaimer: i’m on klonopin to calm tremors and spasms caused by head injury and it works very well. only thing that has.
But i’m betting there will be a price to pay down the road.
Good scientists hate it for the same reason they hate the AGW craze.
Consensus - the idiot’s substitute for science
Yup... find someone, anyone, with a big medicine bill and you probably have found a troubled soul.
That’s part of what medicines are for...
We’ve forgotten to look into the essential question about whether an item can be a good medicine even if some people use it for bad purposes.
Uhhhh..............................whut?...................
psychosis = more Democrat voters........................
