Do you smoke the dreaded green stuff? (171)
I'm convinced that too much marijuana use causes people to Create Polls.
leostartingover: Well, the thing is that a lot of marijuana usage starts when you're a kid/teenager. They're still learning how to cope with life, and it is far too tempting to use this as a coping mechanism. There is a direct link between heavy usage and psychotic illnesses. Obviously alcohol and prescription drugs are also bad news if one becomes addicted...
yeah but it probably what brought the vietnam war down to. besides to much, its not the weed that causes problems its the state of mind that causes problems

I think you may be right!!!
robplum: yeah but it probably what brought the vietnam war down to. besides to much, its not the weed that causes problems its the state of mind that causes problems
Correct and right. Any "Social" drug reflects the existing state of the mind. I smoked for years with no side effects... well apart from that annoying twitch and the voices in my head

Its not illegal here so many people grow it openly, but is illegal to sell it.
leostartingover: I disagree. Not re: the bottom bit, but re: not seeing problems with it. I don't think it should be legalised, for the following reasons:
It has been suggested that marijuana is at the root of many mental disorders, including acute toxic psychosis, panic attacks (one of the very conditions it is being used experimentally to treat), flashbacks, delusions, depersonalization, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, and uncontrollable aggressiveness. Marijuana has long been known to trigger attacks of mental illness, such as bipolar (manic-depressive) psychosis and schizophrenia. This connection with mental illness should make health care providers for terminally ill patients and the patients themselves, who may already be suffering from some form of clinical depression, weigh very carefully the pros and cons of adopting a therapeutic course of marijuana.
In the short term, marijuana use impairs perception, judgment, thinking, memory, and learning; memory defects may persist six weeks after last use. Mental disorders connected with marijuana use merit their own category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) IV, published by the American Psychiatric Association. These include Cannabis Intoxication (consisting of impaired motor coordination, anxiety, impaired judgment, sensation of slowed time, social withdrawal, and often includes perceptual disturbances; Cannabis Intoxication Delirium (memory deficit, disorientation); Cannabis Induced Psychotic Disorder, Delusions; Cannabis Induced Psychotic Disorder, Hallucinations; and Cannabis Induced Anxiety Disorder.
In addition, marijuana use has many indirect effects on health. Its effect on coordination, perception, and judgment means that it causes a number of accidents, vehicular and otherwise.
