You guys aren't even arguing over weed. You are arguing over what is the best method to determine the truth. People who use weed are probably more accepting of the role of experience in life. Those who don't seem to come with this "reasonable" argument. This is just a mirror of what is happening in the greater context with our political parties. They are clinging to one form of discovery, reason or experience, being favorable over the other as well. In fact, they are each outright demonizing anybody who thinks the other way.

Plant, if you weren't high, you'd certainly see how those quotes are there to get you to look at the word in relation to the context it's being used in. So that it points out the use of reason in the way that we can choose between reason and experience. There is nothing scary about either of those, except insofar as we have loaded them up with baggage so that we can look down on others.

Marijuana causes psychosis.....and people may become psychotic quite suddenly

reefer-madness

There is quite a bit evidence now that marijuana use is connected with an increased incidence of psychosis. What I found interesting in this story about two doctors in the UK who treat marijuana-induced psychosis is their concern that people who smoke marijuana regularly can suddenly become psychotic....even if they've been smoking marijuana for years with no psychotic episodes.

They compare it to a smoker getting lung cancer....smokers can suddenly get lung cancer after years of smoking cigarettes even if they haven't previously had any problems......apparently in the same way marijuana smokers can suddenly become psychotic even if they've been smoking for years previously and haven't had any problems.


Psychotic episodes can apparently suddenly begin even in people who spent years smoking marijuana with no ill effects

Cheers!

The link between marijuana use and mass shooters-----marijuana causes psychosis in some young adults.


Marijuana causes psychosis in some young adults.....and crazy psychotic people do crazy things like carry out mass shootings.

potent-marijuana-strain-in-us-causing-psychosis-time-bomb

Once again a mass shooter has turned out to be a pot head. The shooter in Uvalde Texas was a serious pot user.....in fact he reportedly shot his grandmother because he flew into a rage when she tried to
get him to stop using marijuana......and only after he shot his grandmother did he head for the school to murder more people.

An anomalously high number of the young mass shooters turned out to be potheads. This isn't entirely unexpected.....today's potent marijuana triggers off psychosis in some young adults,
and psychotic people are crazy by definition and crazy people have an unfortunate tendency to do crazy things.....like mass shootings.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', ' ')The psychosis events are real too, I have seen it first hand in two young people, both big potHeads.

They went completely off the reservation and it was only modern anti-psychotic drugs that brought them back under control. Perhaps the pharmaceuticals are behind it? But I can't see that myself, though it has certainly boosted their profits. As for people I know (knew) that kept smoking daily but didn't get reefer madness, well their lives were tainted too. Some became simple paranoids, many became chronic unemployed, one in particular became a successful electrical contractor and made quite a deal of money.

When I last saw him 20 years ago, this contractor was off the tools and had a team and he was spending a lot of money and effort trying to quit. He was on about 100 cones or more of head a day (mixed with tobacco) Little be-known to him though was the fact he was addicted to the tobacco. He could quit for a week, and did so once a year on average, but by buying a pouch of tobacco and smoking that. Amazing that he couldn't connect the dots. Quitting smoking is easy with hypnosis, I did it myself, Quitting mixing pot with tobacco though seems impossible lol lol.

All his waking hours were spent mixing mull and tugging on bongs and all his friends were deadheads, not at all successful like him. What normal person would want to hang around someone with a billy around their neck spewing dribble. I only saw his twice after catching up again after 15 years but that was enough. Another lost soul.

I have read that Marijuana is actually more addictive than cocaine if it is taken for a long enough time period. I don't know if this is true- illegal substances don't produce very reliable research stats b/c people don't want to share info.

I do know that the method of taking in MJ should matter to the health of the body. I don't think it is good for the lungs to have any amount of smoke in them.

New Study shows that marijuana users....including casual recreational pot smokers....are far more likely to go to the ER and/or be hospitalized then non-pot smokers.

The second I saw a photo of the Highland Park Shooter and his facial tattoos I thought it likely he was another pothead killer. And sure enough....the Highland Park Shooter previously admitted to police he was a "depressed drug user."

robert-crimo-iii-told-cops-he-was-a-depressed-drug-user

This guy is clearly a psycho creep. And, as happens so often, when a psycho creep starts using psychoactive drugs like Marijuana he becomes even more deranged. Marijuana causes some young people to become clinically psychotic.....and a small but distressing number of these of these crazy potheads go on to be mass shooters.


Psycho POTHEAD killer

Clearly we need to keep guns away from crazy, dangerous people. But we should also be trying to keep marijuana and other psychoactive drugs away from crazy, dangerous people, because it can make them even crazier and even more dangerous.

New study proves (again) that marijuana use causes schizophrenia.

The study estimates that about 30% of schizophrenia cases may be related to marijuana use.
