I’ve attended conference lectures presented my emergency room psychiatrists on how patients who have one first time use of the synthetic marijuana (which is seven times more powerful in THC content than plant based THC) have a psychotic breaks and develop schizophrenia for life.
Current research shows that marijuana causes an atrophy of the dendrites on the pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex, thus decreasing short term or operational memory. The same attribute is found in schizophrenia.
Marijuana, like alcohol and smoking cigarettes creates what is observed as a short term benefit, but also has long term consequences.
Wow. Wasn’t aware of all that. As I said in original post, my friend says that the city is becoming a dump. Homeless folks everywhere just so they can smoke pot, legally.
This road this country is on, has been rough for a while and appears to be getting rougher.
But, when Big Pharma and Big Ag figure out a way to wrest control over all of it, they’ll be buying that stuff in a convenience store.
