    **DISCLAIMER**​

    The egg rhetoric is a staged demonstration of psychosis by subjects who have smoked marijuana. These stunts are performed by amateurs and should never attempted at home. Always use a potholder when handling hot cookware unless you're holding pot. In that case put down the pot you're holding before using or attempting to use a potholder. I before E except after C. Offer void in Alaska, Hawaii, and the continuous 48 states and the District of Columbia and on days ending in Y. If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours contact a close friend immediately.

    I mix one part oxygen to two parts hydrogen, drink frequently and apply liberal amounts of exercise. I have gotten high exactly three times since Reagan was Prez.

    It's only people who put evil things into their bodies who have this problem with both psychosis and the fear of it.

    Among all cannabis users, including sporadic experimenters and habitual users, the lifetime risk of psychotic illness increased by 40 percent, the report said.


    Ok, so If i have a 3% chance of developing a disorder. 3% increased by 40% is NOT 43%, it is 4.2% (almost positive, but the article does not make this clear)
    They make it confusing/misleading by using percents increases percnets. If you think of it as having 3 hours. Then you smoke weed and you have 40% MORE hours you have 3x.4 = 40% of 3 +3=4.2 hours

    It also contradicts itself....

    "Among ALL cannabis users the LIFETIME risk increases 40%" (to 4.2%)
    Then later it says, Risk depends on dose and risk will go down if use is stopped.
    What happened to ALL users of varying doses and LIFETIME risk?

    i love how y'all are taking this so personally. it's just a statistical risk, and a small one at that. hell, yellow #5 turns my kids into raving psychotics and gives me panic attacks. you're bound to be sensitive to something.

    I smoked for a long time and I am all right... at least I think I am. There are many reasons I don't like pot, but I think the likelihood of it triggering psychosis depends on the person's pre-existing mental state.

    you forgot this very imortant quote in the article:

    Two of the authors of the study were invited experts on the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs Cannabis Review in 2005. Several authors reported being paid to attend drug company-sponsored meetings related to marijuana, and one received consulting fees from companies that make antipsychotic medications.
