They also make claims that cannabis contributes to schizophrenia in adolescents...
Perhaps this is because schizophrenia symptoms present in late teens, early twenties- same as the peak use of cannabis.
Personally, I don't believe there is any correlation between schizophrenic symptoms worsening and smoking cannabis...
As much as I am embarassed to admit it, I have disorganized schizophrenia (memory is horrible, I can be very apathetic, unmotivated, I take long walks that lead to nowhere, ect. Think early Syd Barrett.) I have found that when I smoke, my memory is roughly the same, if not better, I sleep better, I am more motivated, and I actually have more emotion than if I'm sober.
This plant has done more for me than the numbing, mind-dulling medications they prescribe me (which I have discontinued). Although this helps, it's a lifelong progressive situation, and cannabis helps me make the best of it.

I know, i was just as surprised. The only channel that REALLY isnt biased [well , no thats bullshit, they ALL are] but channel 4 are the most tolerant, and most open to controvercial issuses.

I completely agree. In 1 study it showed [in those particular results] that cannabis DOESNT cause any mental health issue, but in some cases can make it apparent, and becuase it hasnt been apparant before the weed, they blame the weed.
But no, i dont belive cannabis has any chemcial in it that can cause any mental health issue.

I don't understand how it COULDN'T help... Cannabis releases tons of seratonin in the brain, as well as prolactin, both of which are mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. Schizophrenics usually have a lack of seratonin, as well as prolactin; seratonin levels are decreased, but prolactin levels are normal in depression.
Breastfeeding produces roughly the same amount of those chemicals in a buzzed state, so why don't they correlate breastfeeding to schizophrenia? Because it's legal!

Ever evaporated bongwater and smoked what was there? It sure as hell won't get you high. THC does not smell bad and is not water soluble. I really don't understand how it can be said that the carcinogens in the smoke are less water soluble than THC. To hell with the tars, what about the carcinogens?? All smoke has them. I find myself very frustrated with that report on water pipes being that based upon first-hand experience with them and as an avid user of them for well over twenty-plus years, that it was proven long ago that cancer-causing carcinogens are all universally water soluble for cancer itself must be triggered by these carcinogens which would have to exist in our bodies which are 90% water.
The only mention of anything was about tars which themselves cause emphysema and COPD and not cancer. And to say that THC is in any respect water soluble just really sends my head a'scratching as to how an oil and water can mix to the point of forming a solution. And if you've ever seen a ripened plant catch a late summer rainshower, you'd notice that the THC glands/resins are totally left intact. Oil and water no water what do not mix due to their polarity.
But alas, I digress.....
