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

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.

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...
