Cannabis users are more likely to experience negative emotions, particularly feeling alienated from others, new research reveals. People who use marijuana are significantly more likely to feel that others wish them harm or are deceiving them, a US study found. Brain scans also reveal the class-B drug increases signal connectivity in regions of the brain that have previously been linked to psychosis, the research adds, which is associated with severe depression.

You mean like PARANOIA?

We need the part of MJ that is medically used. I think in my old age with pain, cancer it might be a good thing.

I agree that heavy MJ abuse can cause mild paranoia, and possibly mild psychosis, but nothing along the lines of what crystal meth and cocaine can cause.

Those drugs can cause complete psychotic breaks from reality that the person experiencing them believes are absolutely real, and this can have exceptionally dangerous results, such as people being murdered for no reason whatsoever.

Of Course.

They are afraid that Rip van Sessions is out to get them.

Perfectly sane.

Dave’s not here...

[CharleysPride]

People in Police States suffer feelings of alienation.

[Bobalu]

Have never tried it.

Probably would have as a kid but asthma kept me from smoking anything.

Probably just as well.

[TheStickman]

These articles from the UK about cannabis crack me up.

Proving once again that using too much of anything isn’t good for you.

[Revel]

STOP LYING TO ME. Your just like all the others. Nobody likes me.

Ping-a-ling

[NobleFree]

People who use marijuana are significantly more likely to feel that others wish them harm or are deceiving them

Which could mean that feeling that others wish them harm or are deceiving them causes them to use marijuana.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Everybody hates me
I’m gonna eat some worms

[TigersEye]

Almost cut my hair...

[AppyPappy]

I never felt the paranoia unless they mean the thought that I was going to STARVE TO DEATH. Dry mouth and the munchies were the worst. Only beer could cure the cotton mouth.

[WayneS]

I have this strange feeling that the person who wrote this article is out to get me...

[ClearCase_guy]

I had no idea there were negative side effects. I feel so cheated. So betrayed. So deceived.
