I started a thread about this in the health forum last night, FYI.

EDIT: sorry it was a post I added to my THC vs CBD thread...

[onefourninezero]

Oh right, I scanned the lounge for a similar post but couldn't find one so started my own...

Fair enough, just saying there's an interesting debate already going related to your post.

hahaha so basicaly ppl are admitting themselves into mental hospitals just to smoke weed for free??

[Staurm]

It'd be more than an 85% rise if that were the case.

[JaaWaaRKilla]

oh lol read it wrong so they are saying that weed is making ppl crazy?

[Staurm]

Apparently, yes. Either that or more people are turning up in hospitals stoned off their heads.

[JaaWaaRKilla]

lol thas hilarious.. why would they even point a finger towards weed anyways??

Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in the country with over 2m regular users.

"There are probably 1,500 new cases of cannabis-related schizophrenia a year,"

Hmm, well they seemed to prove with their own numbers that cannabis is not the direct cause of these disorders because if over 2 million people are using cannabis, shouldn't there be a sh*t load more people with schizophrenia and some form of psychosis?

But the prohibitionists will ignore those obvious problems with this article and continue beating the drum of "drugs are bad mmkay"
