I have had six serious surgeries. The first three were in the late 70's and required a full month stay in the hospital on the first two and two weeks on the third. I would not be here today without those procedures and in-hospital post surgery care. I spent two weeks in the critical care unit.

Fast forward twenty years later and I have had three more since the late 90's. All those were done on an outpatient basis and the resulting infections which lingered on, pain management prescriptions which did nothing but made me sick, later discovered complications discovered due to no medical supervision of after-care, (including broken ribs and punctured lung), bladder obstruction, and so on.......all as a result of "never admit a patient" hospital practices in favor of outpatient procedures.

Hunziker says pot appears to trigger specific genes only some people possess.

So what's the conclusion - should it be banned for everybody because some people genetically can't handle it?

I have prescription muscle relaxers and naproxen but I need to take them for a week (3 relaxers and 2 naproxen per day) whereas a quick smoke I feel like a new person the next day.

Obviously you've been brainwashed by Soros - FR's Drug Warriors assure us that pot has no medically useful properties.

Denial: the pot causing mental illness must be different than what was smoked 30, 50, or 100 years ago.

Smoking pot before age of 21 will make you 600% more likely to develop schizophrenia as an adult.

Our young people are glued to their smartphones, Computer screens, Tablets, video games and MP3 players. They don’t interract with each other in person any more, just emails, Facebook, Instagram and twitter...............

No, it’s Dope Fiends that haunt my imagination. Scratch a “pot should be legal” advocate, and find a Dope Fiend, is what I always say.

I can’t figure out why marijuana use is being condemned condemned. It’s perfectly harm... harm... it doesn’t hurt you.

Gaaaaaah! Flying monkeys! Flying monkeys all over the house!!!

There are various links showing that 25% of new psycho cases are due to pot. Also a study that found 15% of heavy skunk users become psychotic.

Skunk weed has not been around for very long at all because it has been developed under lab conditions. England has classified it as more dangerous than pot or hash.

Legal meds are a huge problem but not as big as pot when more states legalize.

The link has testimonies from people who ruined their lives on pot. People are going psycho and getting rushed to hospitals. I see it in friends too who have smoked for 50 years and stopped because skunk weed is making them crazy

The proper term is "crazed dope fiends" - please make a note of it.
