What's the reason and why?
"Have you noticed a lot of articles lately about that very topic?"
Yes, I've noticed that. It sure plays well here of FR.
True story, I swear it*:
A pot-head by the name of Dundee
Came home one night, high as could be.
...He wound up the clock
...With the end of his cock,
And buggered his wife with the key.
Dundee is now criminally insane. Let that be a lesson to you.
So you're citing the DSM-IV as an authority? That's not a road I'd want to go down.
Probably. Why don't you ask that of all the families who've had loved ones die because some drunken *hole decided to get behind the wheel or physically beat someone to death. Most times they only get a slap on the wrist because alcohol is legal.
Excuses for poor behavior will always be in vogue.
"The pot made me do it." "The lack of pot made me do it".
People on this thread are unaware that pot smoking has been linked to psychotic episodes.
I know a family who has been thru this. Their 21 year old son had a psychotic break after smoking pot. And it wasn't his first time smoking it. Unfortunately, he was time bomb waiting to go off, very possibly as this young man in this article may have been.
Their son's psychiatrist has seen this happen a number of times in young people, who had been described as "normal" by all their family and friends before their psychotic break.
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
May I suggest you call Shawnee-Mission Medical Center psych ward, and ask them if the majority of their drug admissions are due to smoking pot.
like I said, I never thought there was a withdrawal. There wasn't with me, that I can remember.
LOL
Yes, between drug smugglers/people smugglers in Ft. Bend and pot growers in the mountains of NM, hiking is not fun anymore.
This is for Fax Machine- Since you are a midget and are extremely goofy on top of it, you should start smoking herb maybe then you will have a brain that functions properly instead of seeing things that are not there.
Sorry you can't be me, maybe you can go to the doc and start taking Human Growth Hormone for your inferiority complex on being a short stout female..
Have a Great day! :)
But was your friend's son pre-disposed to psychosis anyway?
Reefer Madness!
I've always been pretty far removed from the hiking lifestyle.
LOL
you're on a roll, kiddo.
That's one way to look at it. Another view would be that Schizophrenics are twice as likely to smoke pot.
People have also gone stark raving mad from eating sugar I imagine that boy could of had a psychotic episode if he ate enough twinkies or Ho Ho's.

Yeah! HAHA the last post was for my bud in cyberspace who's missing me again!
