so this guy chooses to smoke for a problem he found a solution, and your GF just spouts off that it's that weeds fault? see, that's the kind of uneducated conjecture this thread is talking about. people randomly spitting facts they really know nothing about.
no offense.
people saying, "oh well, this guy has problems, MUST be the pot.

are we forgetting schizophrenia is a HIGHLY mentally suggestive disease? these people are so influenced by suggestion. they are very very psyco-sematic and will usually freak out over their own thoughts about something, not the effects of the thing itself.
saying that, if they hear enough propaganda about pot, they will freak out after smoking it.

my bi polarism when paranoid in its absolute stage, but i'm telling you, it's 905 diet. it really really is. we as a society get farther and farther away from "grains fruits veg's and meats from the farm" with our processed food, and we end up not getting any nutrients. vitamin fortification doesn't really mean shit as most peoples bodies don't get enough fiber to break down those vitamins and piss it out. expensive urine is all they get. that an an unstable brain due to not haveing enough folic acid, fish oil, b-12, vit c, ect. people with "mental illness" 90% of the time have also so signs of IBS (constipation, runs, whole chunks of undigested food, gas to the extreme) or stomach ulcers or they throw up alot. many recent studies show that their brains use more of these needed nutrients faster than your average guy/girl, so anything they DO get nutrient wise, goes to trying to keep up with their metabolism.

but most i've met won't fix thier diet, or quite drinking, or talk huge amounts of supplements and fiber to get it all down and absorb it. and doctors won't really help. they don't wanna go outta business so they keep finding things wrong.

it doesn't help they paranoids that people are really out to get them. if people weren't, they'd get free treatment outta love, and a more hollistic approach that had results. they don't want people better. they want a thriving mental health business.

i live a very normal life, and still clearly see governments and doctors can't be trusted because of what they are alone. they must prove themselves. maybe these people aren't always totally paranoid, but hyper synsetized?

Marijuana is a drug containing plant. You say it is not a drug... well not technically, because marijuana refers to more than the drugs within it (for we can consider marijuana that has had its cannabinoids removed). But whenever people talk about marijuana they are talking about its use in a fashion that delivers the drug within it to the user. Thus it is, functionally, a drug. Unless you were talking about its use as a weed deterrent when implemented in a crop cycle. Or something like that.



Look, Marijuana probably increases the rate of schizophrenia. But so do many other factors in society. The only reason it is a problem if it induces schizophrenia anyway is that the public health service has to take the toll. This society has got to stop protecting people from themselves, and allow people to hurt themselves rather than hurting eachother. But since the govt also has some sort of obligation to take care of people when they are ill, it is unbeneficial to let people hurt themselves, because it costs everyone else. Our legal systems allow us to keep a lot of social order.

But they also lock us into paradigms, because to change fundamental laws could lead to chaos. The powerful people who would do the actual changing could end up making changes that people fear intensely. Even if you don't fear this, plenty of other people do, as there are always those that resist change. Simply due to what they have invested in the current situation. Change is inherently a dilution of their individual investment. Other people, who feel personally involved with the change, praise it and assert it.
