In conclusion, this study did not find any evidence of increasing schizophrenia or psychoses in the general population from 1996 to 2005.

    • It's the CIA! I tell you, they've been replacing the tobacco in my Marlboros with...marijuana!! The FBI told me that when they talked to me through the electrical socket in the wall! (Or maybe it was sickinjersey!) ;)

    • this still does not necessarily mean that it doesn't have the capacity to worsen or instigate psychotic issues. It just means that it doesn't do it to the extent that it actually creates a statistical bump in the general population like cigarettes do with lung cancer.

      This illustrates one of the big problems with the pro pot faction. Anything vaguely positive is invariably drastically overblown. One prediction made by a piece of research didn't seem to pan out. Therefore all the research must be completely without merit and anyone pointing out any limitations must be full of shit.

      There are two sections to the research. the chemical stuff and the statistical effect. The lack of significant statistical effect of the form assumed does mean that the effect is not as great as described but it doesn't necessarily mean it's not there. It's just one piece of evidence. This Article does not address the first section at all. I don't know much of anything about that bit. I would like to know more.

      Also double identical pic post? Rant much? Please. I think that's a termite mound in the second pic btw.

      it helps me to relax...especially when i feel overwhelmed with any given situation the herbal gives me a natural balance that i normally would have to meditate to sustain..this helps to keep me on the game field with a leveled head not simply a reactionary one.:-)
