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.

I have an ill family member and as a result got involved with NAMI in 2006. I am now the State director for a 12-week course called
Family-to-Family which has the goal of helping families understand mental illness better and give them communication and problem solving skills. An educated family isle. From teaching this course at least 15 times now, and interacting with hundreds of family members, I am convinced that pot is NOT harmless but does in fact facilitate psychosis in young people.

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.

I’ve seen it with young teenager family members who use pot regularly. Their mental state is damaged.

Skunk strains typically have 1020% THC and little to no cannabidiol (CBD).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol
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.
Her write up in the Times led to significant research in the use of skunk marijuana against RP. Faced with almost assured blindness, people because quite desperate.

Young people who use high potency skunk cannabis daily have psychotic episodes earlier...and for years they were saying it was acid that would lead to psychotic episodes.
Who would have guessed pot would lead to refer madness?

I noticed that the media is pushing caffeine pretty hard since Obama became president. Any coincidence?

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
