For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.

Maybe it does if you like that anyways!! best bet then would be not to smoke at all.

Ahhh... was the title of this thread meant to be sarcastic? From the conclusion of the article:

However, in most individuals who use cannabis, psychosis does not develop, which suggests that the increased risk must be related to other vulnerability factors.

At best they can demonstrate a correlation. Which should never be confused with causation.

Here you go, another opinion... from the guy who got sacked by the UK gov for comparing the risks of horse-back riding with the risks of Ecstasy consumption

Generally a good read, even though he uses "Skunk" for all high-potency strains...

If anyone ever cops this 'scientific' argument of supporting prohibition due to the potential for substance X to cause mental illness Y, ask the antagonist if they'll be supporting a ban on sugar due to it's possible role in the development of Alzheimer's http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg2 ... scare.html.

Then point them at anything written by Dr Grinspoon.

As someone else around here says, next...

But they dont' say anyting about heavy use of alchohol. Shouldn't it both be a person's personal choice?

And yes, you can over indulge in Cannabis. so you can with many things. Just legalize it.
