I also heard that excessive weed use can cause gynocomastia(bitch tits / man-boobs), acne and anti-social behaviour.

But I still say - so what?

yeah man. you start treating people with no feelings at all, while at the same time, you're not aware an conscious of this shit happenin all around. It's not so great showing no feelings for ya mother and realize it jus when it comes the time she tells you. telling this by personal experience, oh, and yeah, it seems to me that people always judging me (an that raises my fury :D ) and regarding my short-term memory..uhmm.. have to admit that it faded away few years ago. I leave things round home and a second later, I do not remeber where the hell I've put em !!

as LIP said, I carry on loving cannabis cuz of its many many pros..

" SHOW MUST GO ON " as Freddy said :thumbsup:

Cannabis, schizophrenia link refuted
Aug 20, 2004

There is no scientific proof that cannabis use induces schizophrenia, Dutch scientists say, questioning recent research and an argument the Dutch government uses to crack down on marijuana-selling "coffee shops".

In an article in this week's Magazine for Psychiatry, a peer-reviewed journal, the three authors say that on the basis of currently available data "there is no justification for the proposed closure of coffee shops".

Often the first symptoms of schizophrenia occur during adolescence, when people start to experiment with drugs, but the scientists believe cannabis use only has a negative effect on people already genetically predisposed to the mental illness.

"It is therefore advisable that youngsters with a family history of schizophrenia and patients with a schizophrenic disorder be discouraged from using cannabis," the report said.

Subsequent Dutch governments have tightened rules on the sale of marijuana in government-regulated coffee shops, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of cannabis cafes.

A ban this year on alcohol in coffee shops will be followed by a ban on tobacco in 2005, outlawing all smoking on the premises.

There are around 780 coffee shops in the Netherlands of which 270 are in Amsterdam, according to 2002 figures.http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_health_s...%3fformat=html

There may be a connection to anxiolytic and antidepressant with antipsychotic. I don't know.

The addiction is almost purely psychological with some physical characteristics such as sleep pattern, and REM supression.

Weed doesn't make people go crazy. People are crazy before they smoke weed.

Thats true...^ I stopped for 3+ months straight. And I wanted to smoke after I started to understand my body a little bit better, no joke..
