The Link Between Marijuana and Schizophrenia(excerpt>
But here's the conundrum: while marijuana went from being a secret shared by a small community of hepcats and beatniks in the 1940s and '50s to a rite of passage for some 70% of youth by the turn of the century, rates of schizophrenia in the U.S. have remained flat, or possibly declined. For as long as it has been tracked, schizophrenia has been found to affect about 1% of the population.
That’s why it’s called DOPE!!!
Free Will is a *****.
Be careful kids. Using marijuana turns you into liberal democrats! It dulls your senses, makes you stupid and vulnerable to dumb suggestions. And 1,000 other terrible things can happen. Don’t try it, don’t use it.

Um.
Cannabis is as legal for minors as it ever was. So how can you blame the law?
Just saw a commercial for Colorado.
How about the societal benefits then? Less inappropriate incarceration... Less crime... Fewer smugglers... etc. etc. etc. - or should we go back to prohibiting demon rum ?
So totally unexpected. As these kids move through life as useless stoners, where do we get hard working people from?
The kids born with toxic thc levels in their umbilical cords should be in early ed classes now.
Probaby easy to make them think women have penises.
This is in an environment where people want ban youth vaping. pathetic.
Balogna, salami, hip wader time.
Oh, wait...that isn't mentioned in the article. Never mind.
Just more pom poms for weed makes users schizo tripe.
(funny Alaska has had legal weed for decades and they aren't schizo up there)
Carry on.
Money makes the weed go round
The weed go round
The weed go round
Exactly what lie-berals want.
Psychotic people that can’t take care of themselves and who are dependent on the government
Colorado continues to take its dope-fueled, sharp turn to the left, and other states are following.
I really miss mrleroy.
Not only that, but “scromiting.” These kids smoke 90% pure THC honey oil over and over and get so loaded with THC that they start vomiting over and over until their THC levels begin to lessen after a few weeks. I had a student of mine that was hospitalized for a month with it. She vomited constantly the minute she drank or ate anything, so they had to put her on a slow drip IV to keep her hydrated without triggering vomiting.
From the article:
“visits to Children’s Hospital Colorado facilities for treatment of cyclic vomiting, paranoia, psychosis and other acute cannabis-related symptoms jumped to 777 in 2015, from 161 in 2005”
ACUTE.
They took too many gummy bears, or smoked too much oil.
But Colorado has data the shows there’s been a very slight decrease in pot use for those under 18 since legalization.
And EVERYONE knows pot is the next worst drug, after LSD, to take if you’re already borderline nuts. It will tip you over the edge in high doses, just about guaranteed.
Kids should never smoke dope.
But that’s no reason adults should not be able to buy and use.
