Sometimes I think it actually does...but not from a small dose....especially one given ONCE.

see thats just it, when i 1ST got high i mean yeah i got mentally retarded for hours but this effect is gone in hours and they make it seems its life term....its just not cool

It sounds as though they were administered pure thc. This is NOT the same as smoking the plant. The plant has naturally soothing and relaxing chemicals in it that counter-act the psychosis and what not.

Actually, I have thought about some things/factors in life whilst high on "pot," as I understand it is called. Some of those things and the realizations derived from thinking about them have radically altered the way i think, feel, act, and view everything for 10 or so years by now.

Some of these... Alterations toward my general perception of life, the world, and everything that is not me that I developed while I was deep in thought while high enough to take a walk with Jesus could be considered downright psychotic.

Not enough to drive me nuts or make me shoot up a 7-11 in the name of little debby and her delicious pastries. but, definately enough to know I wasn't always this way and some bits of the way I am now from all of it are volatile, and, practically dangerous.

Its always in how people handle themselves. Some people want attention drawn towards their stoner-thoughts and perceptions, or an excuse for why they are nimrods. Some people consider those factors a given in life and add them to the recipe.

Folks, the thing about this study is that it was real. Sorry to burst your bubble, Invision, but science is science. It wasn't an indictment of THC or cannabis for everyone, but in some people, the evidence is clearly there that it can trigger psychotic episodes, paranoid delusions and hallucinations. They were talking about this at med school today. It was a solid study, and it was one of the more in-depth examinations of post-THC-consumption brain physiology there has been.

So you can't conclude this is a lie or a damaging affront to cannabis use. Most experts have known the psychotic response happens to a small group of people after exposure to THC anyway. Many more people can use it with no problems. It's time to grow up and realize that there's bad along with good, at least in a small, vulnerable group. That doesn't mean it's not beneficial for others. It still is. It simply means that for some people it's going to trigger those symptoms and shouldn't be used. We need to be grateful that they are even conducting such studies. There's far too little study being conducted. If we're ever going to do justice to cannabis, we have to accept that there'll be risks along with the benefits and tell the truth about both.

I was just about to tell you guys to wake up but you pretty much said it all birdie. Dead right it's not all good. I know it causes all kinds of negative stuff and is a drug that needs to be treated with a certain level of respect same as any other drug out there. My head does be fucked up half the time because of the weed.

pills.
