So over half the subjects of this study were schizophrenic? I'm not buying their 'conclusion'
...just another example of "Reefer Madness" propaganda.
Psychosis is the reason people smoke marijuana to begin with! It's an attempt to self medicate. Just look at the ones doing it and you'll understand. It's kind of like the what came first scenario, the chicken or the egg?
Beer, wine and liquor cause more disease,accidental death and property damage than marijuana ever did or ever will.
Ban alcohol.
Which came first, the cannabis use or the psychoses?
And how many were attempting to self-medicate with it to lessen their already present disease symptoms?
Who paid for the study? Would it by any chance be a pharmaceutical company?
As with all drugs and chemicals, keep them out of kids' hands.
It's a proven fact.
