UK gov't claim: Smoking just one joint raises danger of mental illness by 40%

Just read this, cheers

 

:cheers2:You know maybe it's true for you and not me or vice versa. I don't see how anyone can claim that they know what does what for me. I think we must think for ourselves. Be prepared for what they know about us so that they can not bait us. Anyone hearing what I am saying. I guess lately I am been thinking really hard about technology and how it can be used so well for army capabilities and how maybe they are using it for marketing techniques, personalized marketing, what a niche! Then I saw this american shortfilm about a security law resulting from 9/11 on line that looked so real. (APatriotAct.com) I wonder if the footage was real life or not? It seemed like it, such a weird look to everything maybe it was the hidden camera angles. Maybe I am just paranoid. But no matter what the issue is we got a think for ourselves.

TO answer your question...lite one up and find out for yourself if it's true for you. If you are scared than consider it tru!

 

I agree with autumn completely. I know from experience with friends. I have a few friends who started as young as 12, and they have completely ruined thier entire lives on the search for more green, as well as developing serious emotional problems. However, isn't cannabis often perscribed medicinally by doctors as a relief to certain brain and mental illnesses. My friend takes it for his excessive migrains, and my sister in law was perscribed for her MS.

But back to the original point. If you are the type of person who gets into drink and drugs that early, you probably didn't have much hope for the future in the first place.

As for me, I've smoked it the last 5 years without ever getting paraniod, freaking out, getting headaches, puking or any of the many symptoms those stupid adverts on TV seem to depict as the norm.

Either the government IS full of shit or I'm a rare superhuman anomoly, and so are everyone I know, except the affore mentioned examples.

Ahh... rant over...I need a joint....

 

i remember reading somewhere that the likelihood of anyone developing mental pschoses in their lifetimes was something like 2 percent, smoking occasionally increased this to 4 percent, and large ammounts every day to 6 percent, still very small. most of these articles which make claims of more rely on ridiculous scare stories which blame marijuana for murders etc, rather than looking at the general population as a whole, they never take into account the correlation/causation argument: that the reason for a connection is that people with existing mental issues are attracted to drugs, rather than the drugs themselves causing the disorders. its very easy to use scapegoats in order to divert responsibility.

surely if the substance is non-addictive, and people are made aware of the risks after proper, scientific research has been undertaken, and their minds have developed fully so the development of the brain is not affected, and the state judges them to be adults, then it should be their right to make the decision to take it? oh yeah, and as for those adverts that claim it causes uncontrollable puking....WTF? has this happened to anyone...ever?

 

From all the friends I have seen over the years get into it, I have noticed that excessive weed use just seems to fill holes in peoples lives......whether thats depression, escapism, sleep problems etc........It makes people very dull....kills their conversational capacity.....they start letting u down cos the weeds more important than their friendships or relationships.......Its fine as a recreational thing now and again, but as a habit its terrible. I had a brief period of smoking shit loads of pot and it just made me lazy and boring....all I ever wanted to do was just sit there and do nothing, and I was too lazy even to pick up a cup from across the room.....It was totally killing off any kind of imagination and brightness in my character and I'm glad I got away from it......I smoke it now when a joints goin round....occassionally get really stoned, but only occassional.

Daily use is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.....and u can only see how badly it erodes your personality and takes away your finances and your potential for making a future for yourself when you get away from it and step back....

One of the main problems today is that modern strains of weed are much stronger and selectively bred to contain higher levels of THC.........but on the flip side, this also means much lower levels of CBD. CBD is a naturally occuring antipsychotic, which is basically ensuring that you are getting fucked without messing up ya noggin.

Skunk is the absolute worst, because it contains virtually no CBD.

I have seen so many people I care about go down the swanny cos of pot. Intelligent, bright, vibrant people turning into bums and deadheads who dont care about themselves and throw away potential.......its so, so, so sad.

 

Another way to control the masses eh? - "Increase by 40%?!?! I'm never smoking cannabis again", well fair play I bet that phony survey got some attention.

 

just one joint? thats on avaregae 1-1.5 grams of weed and mixed with tobaccoo (according to how much me and my freinds put in our joints)

i call this bullshit or very very inaccurate...

and as people said before...if you're already suffering from a mental disorder than weed is going to make it worse, but if you're not then i don't see how 1 joint will change your mental state...

 

Geeez you guys do tend to go on don't you, how many words does it take to say this is bunk ??

Peace

 

Well, just to prove that this is bullshit, the gov sacked their cheif drugs advisor yesterday because he said alcohol and cigarettes are more dangerous than canabis and ecstacy. He also said that the chance of developing a mental illness from smoking canabis is 'minute' and that taking ecstacy is about as dangerous as horse riding.

I mean, seriously, they sacked a scientist for disagreeing with them. How is the human race supposed to advance with assholes like that in charge?

 

Yeah it really is disgusting how stuff like this can happen, ecstacy is such a joyful and magical substance, even the governments of the world know this (MDMA being used in couples counselling before it was deemed bad)

I recently had a spot of bother with the police regarding me having an 8th of green, they arrested me, took my DNA, took my fingerprints all because of something I knew was harmless! I had to sit there and take their bullshit lecture about schizophrenia, I honestly can't see why the general population can't just see sense in this matter.

 

Umm, then why prescribe it to patients who suffer from AIDS for example? That's like fighting fire with fire, if it just sends you to the looney bin.

So yeah, that's bullshit.
