the fact that that the article is using extremely exagerated and false statements to make weed seem bad and dangerous makes me think the article is being written with a purpose, to make people think cannabis is dangerous. so why should i trust it


"Professor Murray also warned that the high potency cannabis now widely available weaker formulations of previowas likely to pose a much bigger risk to health than the significantly us years.
'It is similar to comparing the effect of drinking a glass of wine at the weekend with drinking a bottle of vodka every day.' "

thats enough to let me know these people either don't know what their talking about or their trying to get people more scared than they should be. sure cannabis may have some negative side affects but saying things like this just totally ruins the whole study for me, i know ^thats^ bullshit so why should i believe any of the rest of this crap. when an honest unbiased study comes out I will definately listen.

"Even at relatively low doses, they found 50% of healthy volunteers began to show symptoms of psychosis."
honestly it may fit the medical description of psychosis but i really get the feeling there trying to throw words like psychosis in there to scare people.

"Thousands are thought to be dependent on cannabis"
Small things like this in the article really just make me doubt its truth. There throwing an extremely negative light onto weed and its obvious (to me) their trying to make it seem as bad as possible to make there results seem as relevant as possible.


I read the article but did it anywhere give solid proof of long term damage, what it seemed like they were doing is
1) get someone high and record lower brain activity (expected since there fucking high)
2) and than from there assume that the lowered brain activity is permanent?

as one of my old teachers said "you cant polish shit and make it look nice"
this all seems to me like they didnt get any conclusive results but there trying to make it seem like a worthwhile discovery. I've never been told how cannabis effects the brain but when i read (in this article) it lowers brain activity in a part of the brain that controls inappropriate thoughts like paranoia i wasnt suprised at all, was anyone?
I didn't see any conclusive results about long term lowered brain activity, and that seems like it would be the most important discovery, something they would definately want to show off. but rather they just assumed it has long term affects?

this article didnt seem to give a solid answer so does anyone know if these tests actually showed conclusive results about long term brain affects?

i dunno i'm high and was high when i read it so i may be totally wrong and my long shpeel may be ridiculous hippy jibberish :hippy:
have fun
