Did y'all even read the article about the testing? Apparently not. Those studies were not done by the government. The studies were done in academic medical institutions, and what they found were very real results about how THC (it wasn't whole weed, it was isolated THC, one of the two psychoactive compounds in cannabis along with cannabadiol, or CBD) provoked delusional/schizophrenic activity in a number of the test subjects.

I've said it before and will say it again. Cannabis and its active compounds aren't for everyone. It's a drug, and not all drugs agree with all psyches. Every time a study or an article such as this comes out, we get the nay-sayer stoner types here who don't believe it, but the research was solid and well-done. And it proved what a lot of researchers have known for a long time--that the compounds in weed can provoke delusional and/or paranoid reactions in some folks. That doesn't mean it happens to everyone. It doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad substance. But for some people it is. Just because it doesn't have that particular effect on you personally doesn't negate the test results. In the test subjects they studied, those results were scary enough that they didn't continue the studies.

I need to save this since it keeps needing to be repeated. Anyone who thinks cannabis is all good is just as wrong as anyone who thinks it's all bad. It's like any drug with side effects that vary from person to person and situation to situation. Ultimately, to do justice to the substance and its advocacy, we have to open our minds up and look at both the good and the bad. That means being able to read reports such as the one above with an open mind instead of an outright dismissal.
