It seems smoking just one joint increases your risk of mental illness by 41%:

Do we start the clock now to countdown to the obligatory "I have an MBA in Finance and I smoke weed every day, because why would God put it on this Earth if not to smoke it every day. Plus it helps my back pain when I go 'hug' my wife" post?

1- LB...very funny

2- How is it I have become the spokesperson for weed? I hardly ever do it.
3- Quake is the one that talks about hugging his wife, I do not., everything else seems right on.

If pot does that, I hate to think what a cocktail of LSD, horse tranquilizers, and Scotch does. That was de rigueur for me through most of the early nineties. Or was it the eighties?

Apparently that particular combination of substances only leads to the pretentious use of French phrases that the user only vaguely comprehends. This is a fairly mild form of mental illness, albeit an annoying one.

Au contraire, seems like you were quite the bon vivant in the 80s...or 90s. I had a bit of a laissez faire attitude in those days as well, but hey you know what they say, c'est la vie. Because really, in the end, joie de vivre is our raison d'etre.

Weed doesn't make people mentally ill, people make people mentally ill. My liberty is guaranteed by some amendment, I'm sure of it. Je t'adore Mary Jane! Je t'adore!

Well I find that article to be based in fear. First they say that Cannabis has been implicated in vicious killings, then they point out the guy that killed that woman was into heavy drugs. So how exactly is cannabis the issue?

Cannabis has been implicated in a string of vicious killings, including the recent stabbing of fashion designer Lucy Braham.

The former Harrow pupil, whose father is a teacher at the school, started using drugs when he was 14, moving on from cannabis to cocaine.

I just don't see how they can make that sort of connection. I don't think this has any validity.

gibbsisgod · 07-27-2007, 05:19 AM

This seems like scare tactics to me. They mention extreme cases in which Pot may have been a factor in killings. Is it to anyones suprise that this was goverment funded research?

And let me say this, I have never wanted to kill somebody after I smoke a J. I only feel that way when I can't find any. J/K!
