Mental illnesses are triggered six years earlier in patients who have smoked high-strength cannabis every day, a study has claimed.
Mental health patients who smoked skunk daily—which has a high amount of the drug’s active ingredient, THC—had their first psychotic episode at an average age of 25, compared to 31 for non-users.
Yet the damage was not limited to heavy smokers or those using powerful cannabis, according to the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London.
Mental health patients with a general history of using cannabis still had their first psychotic episodes at 28—three years earlier than those who never tried the drug. …

Stupid people do stupid things.
No excuse for what the WOD has done to erode the constitution.
Kick my door in, you will get shot.
No expert here. But this sounds like typical hysteria.

Ping.
At every fatal car crash involving marijuana in Colorado and Washington, a mile 420 marker should be posted. Funny how if a state violates Federal laws regarding abortion or gay marriage, they are censured by the Courts almost immediately. Somehow it is different if they contradict Federal drug laws.
Liberals typically suffer psychotic episodes anyway.
Psychotic episodes aka the real Reefer Madness!
i smell a skunk
....and far more likely to be Obama supporters.
It’d only get stolen. If erected.

I’ve seen it with young teenager family members who use pot regularly. Their mental state is damaged.
Skunk strains typically have 10–20% THC and little to no cannabidiol (CBD).

Importantly, the skunk strains are also associated strongly with the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited, degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment and often blindness.[
A reporter for the London Times, who suffered from advanced RP, attending a cannabis fest on the continent, was shocked to discover a return of visual acuity and night vision, after smoking skunk.
She then discovered that some 4th world fishermen, who fished at night, used skunk to improve their night vision.

Who would have guessed pot would lead to refer madness?
It is.

I noticed that the media is pushing caffeine pretty hard since Obama became president. Any coincidence?
BTW, states with medical marijuana had safer highways according to this study=> Study shows medical marijuana laws reduce traffic deaths
I know a gentleman, highly educated whose daughter suffered daily convulsions, after trying all the pharma stuff, all the modern meds did was make her a zombie and did not stop the episodes. An oregon mm doctor gave her a script for pot. It cured her. God can do anything and man’s ways are not His.peace in christ
