There was a television show that aired today on bbc two called "Horizon, Cannabis: the evil weed?"

Here is the description:

Cannabis is the world's favourite drug, but also one of the least understood. Can cannabis cause schizophrenia? Is it addictive? Can it lead you on to harder drugs? Or is it simply a herb, an undervalued medicine?

Addiction specialist Dr John Marsden discovers that modern science is finally beginning to find answers to these questions. John traces the cannabis plants' birthplace in Kazakhstan; finds the origins of our sensitivity to cannabis in the simple sea squirt; and shows just what it does to our brains.

He meets people who have been changed by this drug in drastically different ways - from those whose lives have been shattered to those who lives have been revived.
I just watched a version I found on the interweb, and I think every one should watch it (particularly the non-smokers, which I know I wont reach by posting on this site).

If you can find a copy I highly recommend it for it does a great job at covering the more negative aspects of this wonderful plant.
