The bottom line was that it might cause the onset of schizophrenia sooner in those who were going to develop schizophrenia anyway.

My bottom line is that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so this "might" cause schizophrenia, too! LOL!

Its much better than alcohol.

A glass of port is an excellent complement to a fatty, however:

The so-called health benefits of “medical marijuana” could offset any positives, costing taxpayers billions. But the social cost is immeasurable.

Cone Head Logic: 'Let us now commence mass slaughter of all pot heads before they replicate'.

Besides, I don't have a billion dollars to pay for their psychoses.

BTW, didn't the last three POTUS's admit to smoking pot? That explains the mess we're in today!

You know, I have been poking smot for over 30 years and my mind has suffered no ill effects that I can tell.

Sorry .....But ever since Obummer I have a hard time believing anyone from Harvard! Alcohol and Marijuana are both not exactly healthy for you if they are abused...or used too often. IMO Kids shouldn’t have either...... Adults should be able to make up their own minds about what they put in their bodies.

That actually sounds like fun. This story will probably sell lots of baggies. Good job.

Does your life consist of anything other than scouring the internet finding anti-drug articles to post on FR?

What motivates you to do such a peculiar thing?

Yes, this is as relevant and scientific as a finding that kids who listen to Goth music are more likely to take antidepressants - and claiming that listening to Goth music makes you depressed.

Self selection bias, but “cargo cult science” about covers it.

I would have sensitive social workers follow you around with a net to catch you if you fall.

An equally likely explanation is that teenagers susceptible to mental disorders are ALSO more likely to be frequent marijuana smokers.

It's called self medicating. Lots of addicts do it with nicotine also.

Uh oh, you should have posted the full blog post instead of excerpting. Excerpting blog posts is forbidden on Free Republic because by posting on Free Republic, bloggers waive all rights to their own content, and are supposed to allow Free Republic to have access to all of their copyrighted material for free.

Actually, bloggers who excerpt their own material are captured and held in secret holding cells. Once we round up every single one, they will be allowed to choose.

Those who refuse to "interact" with Helen Thomas, sexually, will be force to fight in a coliseum style death match.

If I were a blogger, I’d choose the cage match, since I could probably whup most any of them.

Do you understand the point I made?

Perhaps being crazy makes you want to smoke marijuana. There is no way to tell what they claimed from the evidence they gathered. Correlation is not causation.

Do you understand that?
