I thought that was pretty strongly established.
London researchers determined that Long term cannabis users developed brain damage in the same area of the brain that bipolar and schizophrenia patients show damage.
Never was one’s favorite actor but one admires his honesty in the matter.
Yes, smoking dope hurts you in the brain.
Living in San Francisco, I’ve seen far too many stoners progress to psychosis to have any doubts whatsoever that there’s a causal relationship in a not insignificant share of users.
Ask Obama and Trudeau ? LOL
I miss the “normal America” of my youth.
China revels in America’s abnormalities.
No he is just a moody lil bitch
Big assumption that typical street marijuana does not contain other psychoactive drugs. Big mistake. Lot of weird drugs can aggravate existing conditions of all kinds when used to ‘strengthen’ marijuana.
When I read this, I thought: Are most actors mentally ill?
And all this time, I thought he was just born an a$$hole. So it was the marijuana that turned him into a Rat tard. I wonder what Alec Baldwin’s excuse is?
Excusing bad behaviour
If he knew it at 11, it’s doubtful that he was smoking pot then.
“I have surfed my manic depression since I was 11-years-old. I enjoyed it and made it work for me and have not known the world without it, so it’s my only known existence.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mother was bipolar and she also enjoyed her manic phases, so much so that she wouldn’t take her medication all the time.
She never smoked marijuana.
To each his own.
But I’ll guaran-darn-tee ya I’d a never let Suzanne Somers drive off in that white T-Bird...
That’s his problem, right there!
Dreyfuss is one of the good guys.
From Mosaic News this past April:
Richard Dreyfuss: Woke Will Kill America
Most Hollywood actors, from rising stars to A-listers alike, are sitting out the fight to save free speech.
Even on Oscar night, when celebrities use their podium time to promote pet causes, free speech doesn’t get a close-up. Many celebrities have cheered on social media titans for banning select leaders.
Others wish Fox News, the popular cable channel serving right-leaning audiences, would be banished from nationwide.
Richard Dreyfuss is a startling exception to all of the above.
The star of Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, “The Goodbye Girl” and What About Bob? joined right-leaning podcaster Megyn Kelly this week to tackle the subject head on.
And he didnt hold back during the robust, and frank, conversation.
The man behind The Dreyfuss Civics Initiative, born to instill a sense of the American experiment in students, railed against Big Techs attempts to silence debate.
Need a chilling example?
Facebook censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story is despicable, Dreyfuss said. Twitter similarly banned The New York Post from sharing its blockbuster story weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
Its breaking the most fundamental part of the First Amendment, he added.
Social media giants attempting to “protect” citizens from information does us all a disservice.
There is a lack of trust in the brains of our young people. We think theyll be putty in the hands of an influencer or social network owner, the actor said. This has been happening since social media has been our constant companion.
The Dreyfuss Civics Initiative, a passion project for its creator, offers a different message than what Hollywood churns out today. Patriotism matters. So does the kind of critical thinking that leads to an informed populace.
We have ethics and values right smack in the middle of the Constitution, said Dreyfuss, who has leaned to the Left over the years quit the Democrat party in 2004. Now, he’s eager to hear both sides of the political debate without partisan bickering. You have to trust the system.
Dreyfuss repeatedly referenced the current woke ideology during the conversation, even if he didn’t mention that word by name.
It wasn’t necessary.
Weve all been trained to use certain words and not use certain other words, he said, something that matters especially given events in Ukraine. Its why censoring either side of the conflict is a mistake.
Both sides in a war make mistakes or do something you dont approve of, he noted.
Kelly shared a troubling story of how her childs school teacher, when pressed on a challenging subject, essentially stopped the lad cold.
Im uncomfortable with this conversation. Im shutting it down, Kelly recalled of the teacher’s reaction.
That didnt sit well with Dreyfuss.
Intellectual curiosity is the goal of American public schools, he said, adding the current cultural trends spell doom for his beloved country.
If you want America to continue to exist as the country that has a specific meaning which its had now for 200 years … if you want to kill it, do what youre doing now, he said.
The Oscar winner also weighed in on Will Smith’s assaulting Chris Rock at the March 27 Academy Awards gala. Dreyfuss blamed the culture for Smith’s inability to reign in his impulses.
“Will Smith would no more have approved of his own behavior had this been 10 years earlier than he would have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, but there’s no boundaries anymore because no one is teaching them to us.
“No one is teaching the Bill of Rights and that, ultimately, is the society’s picture of proper behavior. No one is teaching that and no one is calling for it. That is the worst decision a society can come to.”
He wasn’t finished.
“It’s not just Will Smith. It’s not just the Academy Awards. It’s who we are and how did we get to this clownish place,” he said.
Dreyfuss’ self-named Initiative features this quote from the actor on its home page:
Teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country. If we dont, someone else will run our country.
When go ahead and mention it without any medical science to back it up it’s the equivalent of “push-polling.” Your obvious intent is to embed and unproved point in the reader’s mind in the effort to make them agree with your opinion.

Usually people who smoke MJ strongly deny its effects. That’s part of the reason its debilitating effects are muted - because so many people smoke the stuff and mute anything about its negative effects.
But pot causes psychosis. The degree of psychosis depends on the person, but it causes it. One way to tell that is generally anyone who smokes the stuff almost immediately feels a certain paranoia (especially back in the days when it was illegal).
No, I don’t think the government should regulate what adults choose to do do in their own private lives, but I wish the truth about MJ was more widespread. Screws up the memory something firece also.
More expert advice from Hollywood play actors.
The dude is a liberal douchebag. His mind was already fried before he started smoking weed.
Like all leftist turds, his insanity and psychosis increased proportionately to the level of his success in Hollywood. Fe and fortune are every bit as addictive as heroine or methamphetamine. The more you get, the more you need to maintain the “high”.
I suspect that douchebag is beginning to feel death creeping up on him and is now looking for an excuse for his depravity.
Suggest he just come out and admit he sold his soul for fame and fortune.
Otherwise, “F” him and the horse he rode in on.
