This is total, absolute bullshit

I'm so pissed and spitting mad I don't know what to do. Marijuana may increase psychosis risk, analysis says - CNN.com

First the feds fuck up pass legislation yesterday to allow DEA and shut more MMJ places. Now today this. WTF is going on. It ain't even a fucking study. "The researchers said they couldn't prove that marijuana use itself increases the risk of psychosis, a category of several disorders with schizophrenia being the most commonly known." Holy shit. Yellow journalism. Some Brits were complaining about this being published yesterday. Today it's a fucking CNN headline. This conservative, stupid, thoughtless, back-ward bullshit is just getting out of hand.

yeah, I just came online to post the Fox News report of the same ... typical bullshit ... big-ass headline to grab all the attention, then, damned little verification to back it up ... tomorrow's headlines: REEFER MADNESS MOVIE AHEAD OF IT'S TIME ! ... :mad:

As usual, the REAL STORY is in the last paragraph, which reads :
" Two of the authors of the study were invited experts on the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs Cannabis Review in 2005. Several authors reported being paid to attend drug company-sponsored meetings related to marijuana, and one received consulting fees from companies that make antipsychotic medications. " ... nice, ain't it ? :mad:

it's just bullshit...they don't know wtf is up in the uk...they said new 'brands' of marijuana like 'superskunk' in a 'study' for god sakes...these people are wankers, ha.

I just got off the air, with the 'Armstrong & Getty Show', a syndicated radio-talkshow ... I pointed out the last paragraph regarding the obvious slanted opinions of the 'doctors' in the study ... they allowed me to read it on-air ... to my surprise, Armstrong and Getty agreed with me, that the study was obviously biased (pretty good, as these guys aren't 'pro-pot') ... :smokin:

Cool but now u just need to do the same thing....but call in to the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom Show"

Spread the MJ Gospel to a wider audience....LOL!

Drug experts today said there was still insufficient evidence to reclassify cannabis, after a report suggested the drug could increase the risk of schizophrenia by at least 40%.

The Labour MP Brian Iddon and Professor Robin Murray, of the Institute of Psychiatry, said there would be no benefit gained by restoring cannabis to a class B drug.

Their comments came after a report published today in medical journal the Lancet estimated there were at least 800 people suffering serious psychosis in the UK as a result of smoking cannabis.

The Home Office said last night that the report's findings would be considered in a review of the 2004 decision to downgrade cannabis to a class C drug.

The review was prompted by fears that the potent "skunk" form of cannabis was triggering schizophrenia.

Prof Murray, an expert on cannabis-induced psychosis, said the Lancet study added "very little" to the understanding of the health risks associated with smoking the drug. " ... UNQUOTE ..

(I'm currently curing my 'Skunk' strain, I know it's gonna be real good, but, I AIN'T SCARED OF IT :S2:

I really don't understand why they can't spend their time focusing on harmful drugs... I mean, yes we know heroin is harmful already, but we've known for thousands of years that marijuana is not. If they really cared about stopping drug abuse, they'd stop spreading this bullshit about marijuana.
