    I can believe it, it (MJ) makes you paranoid someetimes, if you are pronbe to anxiety and have fears already... it could get freaky. And not fun freaky.

    yeah, it why i don't smoke it. i always wanted to. i think that'd be awesome. but every time i've tried it, i've ended up having a panic attack in HELL. it was awesome. dave LOVED it, untill he passed out a couple times. then he started having vicious panic attacks. he ended up in therapy for 6 months. couldn't ever enjoy it again. for real. same thing happened to his sister. just as well, though, she was a TOTAL stoner. it seemed they both went though the passing out and sudden onset of panic attacks whenever they'd smoke. it happened at same age for each of them, too.

    no you wouldn't. you'll be like my friend slashing at yourself with a knife until you bleed out, alone, forgotten, in your apartment in a town far away from the people who love you. only to be found 3 days later because of the smell by police officers who are all in counseling now from the trauma of the viciousness of your bloody suicide.

    I suppose you could make the point that people with latent mental illness are more likely to use marijuana habitually then people more mentally stable.

    I suppose altering your mental state day in and day out is something that could be a trigger for mental episodes.

    When will people learn? There is nothing in that study, as it was described by the journalist, that can back up the article's headline. Correlation is not causation! It may be that marijuana use and rates of psychosis are correlated but that does not necessarily mean that weed causes psychosis. Maybe psychosis leads to higher rates of weed use, so by merely smoking mire you are not increasing your rate of psychosis. Or maybe both variables are caused by something else. It could be that the use of cocaine or ritalin or caffeine or alcohol leads to both higher rates of marijuana usage and higher rates of psychosis, but there is no causal link betweeb these two. I could go on and on and on. The only way to prove what the headline of this article implies is to have a controlled double-blind experiment, something that was obviously not done in this case.

    being psychotic may be interesting, but it's sure as hell not fun, and it's sure as hell not better than being boring. poor johnathon. fucker never stood a chance. his obituary just said "was was cremated." fucking sad.
