The French psychiatrist Jacques-Joseph Moreau published a book called Hashish and Mental Illness in 1845, the same year that Scientific American brought out its first issue. In it, he explored his own experiences with the drug cannabis at the Paris-based Club des Hachichins—some of which took place alongside the likes of Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac and Charles Baudelaire. Two years earlier Moreau described the “undescribable delights” of a “marvelous substance.” But in his 1845 book, he noted in great clinical detail the similarities to psychosis when ingesting high doses.
Nearly two centuries later the possible link between cannabis use and schizophrenia continues to be intensively researched, often provoking heated debate in its wake. A study published on May 4 in the journal Psychological Medicine provides new evidence that problematic cannabis use may lead to schizophrenia, particularly for young men who are heavy users.

Chicken or the egg? They use weed to try to do something because they are whacked out, or are they whacked out because of tue skunk butt weed?
Government says cannabis good...should be in everyone’s garden...looks like parsley. lol
The weed and related products are so strong now they’re down right debilitating.
The solution for pot smokers is simple. They should start using tranq instead. Tranq has “short-lived” side effects. Just take a look at Kensington, PA. It’s a model neighborhood for tranq use.
So,
What are you saying about antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, stimulants, anti-psychotics, and mood stabilizers?
Yup. So the surfer dudes smoke some stuff to change their head? Then it changes their head. Did we pay any money to find out weed screws people up? Who’d uh thunk it?
Well... What do you get when you combine Prozac with an AR 15?
No no... I’ve been assured that smoking pot is healthy for you and not harmful at all like that icky tobacco which is a nasty habit. Smoking tobacco BAD! smoking pot GOOD AND HEALTHY!
-—that’s just you? So, which one of you is talking? And where was the other guy at the time?
Taxi
Do you mean Pfizer and Moderna.
I grow my own and it has a low THC level but a higher CBD level. Smoking it would just wreck your lungs.
And yes, that’s Tom Hanks.
I’m just joking. (Kind of) :)
