Oh, I'm not saying it's good for you, only that psychosis seems pretty far fetched in my experience. Big difference between shortening your life and making you insane! If you'd rather believe government studies about this, feel free. I could pull up links that claim it cures cancer, but what's the point?
You can find a study to say just about anything these days, you're much better off using your own experience and common sense. People have been conditioned to believe anyone wearing a labcoat with a title that says "expert". I wouldn't say the results are totally invalid, but neither is the financial backing of big pharma, along with the textile and paper industries, to a lesser extent. Exactly how many prescription drugs have been rushed to market, only to have far more disastrous consequences for people than something found in nature?
Something tells me if they could slap a patent on it, it wouldn't be illegal, and instead of these studies, you'd be having TV ads for it with sick people floating around in the sky to calm music, and a far shorter list of side effects than the drugs they push now. But don't listen to me, I'm a paranoid lunatic, according to research.
Of course, some people that don't smoke will say it makes them paranoid...but that affect seems to fade with a higher tolerance.
I need to worry about quitting smoking tobacco more than weed anyways.
These studies strike me as this century's "official" version of Reefer Madness. Think about it, what two symptoms best describe the behavior of the actors in that piece of propaganda?
Paranoia and Psychosis.
