That study claims a causal link where there is none. They did not prove marijuana use leads to psychosis, only that marijuana users have higher rates of psychosis. It is already well known that people with mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, are at higher risk for using drugs to cope with their problems. Get your facts straight and tell us something we don’t know.

Someone who smokes weed regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have. These people may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. And if you continue to smoke marijuana, it can lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissue which can get injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke. Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by people who smoke weed and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times larger than tobacco smokers. Doctors aren’t sure but it is prolly caused by marijuana users inhaling more deeply without a filter and holding the smoke in the lungs.

How can people be so offended by marijuana? Some of these people leaving comments are talking like it’s worse than alcohol or tobacco, in my opinion and in the opinion of every pot smoker alive, it is no where near as harmful as either. I believe it should be regulated the same as alcohol and tobacco but how can anyone say that it’s dangerous? I think the real reason it’s illegal is because the government would have to spend too much money to begin regulating it. It pisses me off enough to make me want to move to Europe. Life would be absolutely perfect if I could go to the store and buy a pack of joints. Wouldn’t that be great? I don’t know of anyone that has ever gotten so stoned they flipped out, however, I cannot say the same about alcohol. The same as I don’t know of anyone who as ever gotten marijuana poisoning, again, I cannot say the same about alcohol. How many people are addicted to marijuana? How many people are addicted to alcohol?………EXACTLY.

in our mind what do we percieve as right and wrong, doesn’t what the law states we can and cant do have a big part of whats right and wrong? So if weed is legalized, when we smoke we wont have anything to feel guilty about because you are not doing anything wrong because it will be legalized. this is a stupid article, and besides who cares if people smoke, i dont. As long as they stay away from me, it does not bother me in the slightest

Ron Paul would be a great candidate, and many people would vote for him and his policies in a heartbeat. I hope his campaigning keeps on breaking records, and gaining public attention…because he’s still not very high up in polls, and I’d love for the media to pay more attention to him. We need someone who’s not going to enforce such arcane and strict laws on those who are peacefully enjoying a drug far less harmful / detrimental to society than tobacco and alcohol. This topic alone has the potential to sway potential adamant non-voters, and get them to raise their voice and demand that it be heard. There are still too many uneducated fools out there who took Anslinger’s lies to heart, and simply refuse to pay attention to the irrefutable facts…which are well documented…and verifiable to anyone with a computer and some free time. Things need to change; it’s ridiculous living with an elected government that refuses to listen to the voters who put them there. We are the majority.

The OP rants about psychosis. Potheads laugh.

Sounds like another day in paradise.

The most abused drug on the face of the earth is ALCOHOL. MUCH MORE SO than ALL OTHER ABUSE DRUGS COMBINED. Besides the obvious fact that it’s a terrible idea to drive (etc.) under the influence of ANY mind-altering drug, how many people do you know of that have died from a marijuana overdose?

I hope you do have your own talk show some day, Bill. On Mars.

As Bugs Bunny would say: “What an ultramaroon!” Buy you a BEER indeed. Geez.

Why is alcohol legal and not marijuana?, the latter has proven medicinal effects, the former does not.
