What does that have to do with anything? Pot doesn't make one crazy. It has similiar, yet less harmful, reactions to alcohol.

who mentioned the word crazy? not me. here is some information about marijuana from
The National Institute of Drug Abuse...
Researchers have found that THC changes the way in which sensory information gets into and is processed by the hippocampus.2 The hippocampus is a component of the brain's limbic system that is crucial for learning, memory, and the integration of sensory experiences with emotions and motivations. Neurons in the information processing system of the hippocampus and the activity of the nerve fibers in this region are suppressed by THC. In addition, researchers have discovered that learned behaviors, which depend on the hippocampus, also deteriorate via this mechanism.
