Marijuana and psychosis: Real data, real bad
Christian Post ^ | April 4, 2019 | John Stonestreet and Roberto Rivera

Posted on 04/04/2019 1:01:56 PM PDT by kaehurowing

Both groups were surveyed on a host of factors, including their use of marijuana and other drugs. The study’s authors concluded that “people who smoked marijuana on a daily basis were three times more likely to be diagnosed with psychosis compared with people who never used the drug. For those who used high-potency marijuana daily, the risk jumped to nearly five times."

Are you referring to teenagers vaping nicotine or sweet juice 200 times a day vs. the maximum 8 draws I do?

If you know of more applicable adverse findings I would be interested in seeing them.

Medical cannabis oil is an amazing medical drug.

I'm taking it now to treat my stage four cancer. Based on all I've read about it, it's one of the most important medical finds of the century.

In a nutshell, the THC molecule kills cancer cells on contact.

TThe chicken and the egg. Which came first?

Are you a psycho, therefore you smoke dope?

or

Are you a doper, therefore you are psychotic?

~~~

That was going to be my point, or at least a hybrid of it.

Was it your propensity for psychosis that lead you to marijuana dependency, or was it your MJ dependency that lead you to psychosis?

If you’re already badly wired in the head, at least to some degree, not only would substance abuse help potentially the symptoms get expressed, but also it’s probably that you’re more likely to abuse such substances. Sounds like a vicious cycle.

There is cleaning weed and sleeping weed. My daughter works in DC so she can have it “legally” . They describe which one does what but it is more expensive. I have no interest in being stoned. I just like the way it puts you out. No if and’s or buts. At least it did in 1987.

Also, I understand nicotine vaping is done at a significantly higher temperature.

Holy cow. That would have killed me dead. I can just about polish off a fifth by myself in a week.

The a-holes are pushing Marijuana hard in NJ and it makes me sick how they convoluted the issue with how great economically it will be, how the side effects are minimal, how it is a wonder drug in medicine and recreational Marijuana is no different than Alcohol.

The damage is real and it is national suicide to be legalizing pot.

Then how did we survive before 1937?

It generally affects people who already have a mental issue.

That's certainly part of it but the more the pot use the more the psychosis is classic evidence of causation, not just correlation. Any psychotropic chemical that strongly rewires the brain's reward system is going to lead to at least some mental damage.

Yes but if you take a bunch of monkeys and sew up their noses mouths so that only a cigarette can be inserted into the mouth and forcing them to breathe the burning cigarette for hours on hours, they will eventually get lung cancer. Which is how the first “cigarettes cause cancer” trials were done back in the 60s. From there on it was just a matter of refining the study process

Have you ever seen a medical forensic study that empirically tied his marijuana consumption to his cancer?

I'll bet you haven't.

Having met pot users in high school and since, they are very often easily spotted. The damage is real and it is national suicide to be legalizing pot.

The stereotype of the freaked-out pot-head loser is based on reality. If you read deeply into the research on the damage that cannabis does to the brain, you will find a lot of bad things. It's all there for those with the wherewithal to look.

Yup. Self control, not state control. That’s the ticket.

Pot versus alcohol? I’d say Alcohol is a better choice overall. Yes, there are people that abuse it but overall I definitely think it is a better choice. Besides, it is out of your system in hours, not months. What you did last night won’t affect your work today or next week. Plus, it is legal and so long as not in your system, not an employment issue. Pot users? Can’t legally buy or own guns, may be refused jobs, may be fired.

Maligent melanoma killed Marley, he refused the surgery that his doctors recommended.
