You said "this explains a lot". People usually say that when they had a

you have before this new information appeared?

Oh my God. They have resurected the guys that made the origional
Reefermania! Don't beleive everything you read there rogue. Quite
possibly, mentally unstable people turn to drugs or alcohol? Now, that
would make sense, or add up cause nothing in that article does. Pot
does not lead to harder drugs necessarily, but if you are going to do
harder drugs you are probably going to start with tobacco, then pot,
then harder drugs, it is a matter of availability. Anyway, one joint
does not make for a 41% chance of going looney. This article is crap,
the study it is based on, crap. I have known thousands of potheads in
my life, only two I know went skitzo. One enhanced his pot smoking,
with lost of LSD popping, the other a Vietnam Vet who self medicated
with not only joints, but thai sticks, and a terrible otc called
thorizine. The guy was usually a zombie. Other than that, most of the
pot smokers just eventually grew up, quit smoking, and continued on
with life. Another note, probably 95% of the pot smokers I have known
do not do other drugs, many, not even alcohol.

Does your newsreader allow you to extract a thread once launched?

Anybody who reads your link will see that the article itself refutes
its own sensational lead line, (the same sensational lead line that
you quoted above).

From the article:


'Although individual lifetime risk of chronic psychotic disorders such
as schizophrenia, even in people who use cannabis regularly, is likely
to be low - less than three per cent - cannabis use can be expected to
have a substantial effect on psychotic disorders at a population level
because exposure to this drug is so common.'

The risk of chronic psychotic disorder is low, even in people who use
cannabis regularly.

Boating tie in:

Drugs are like boats. We all have our favorites, and darn few of us
would prefer to go through life without. But within the vast field of
recreational drugs, taken simply because we enjoy the way they make us
feel, there are differences of opinion regarding the pros and cons of
different varieties. I like trawlers, you like center consoles,
etc. :-)

I don't know much about your personal life, but you have posted about
your own drug use on this forum in the past. Nicotine is one of the
most addictive substances available to most people. A recent study
concluded that young teens who steal cigarettes from Mom or Dad and
sneak a smoke in an alley on the way to Middle School are far more
likely to develop an addiction to nicotine and to other drugs as well.
Most teenagers who smoke marijuana were smoking tobacco at a younger
age, according to the study, so if there's a "gateway" drug it isn't
pot- it's nicotine. The personal and social costs of individual
tobacco use can be fairly, high- especially during the last decade or
so of a lifetime.

I'm not addicted to nicotine, (my cigar use is down to less than one
per year, and I think it's been well over a year since I last had
one). I do enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or sharing a beer with
some buddies at a yacht club meeting, etc- so my drug of choice at
this point in my life is alcohol. Just as with pot, nicotine, LSD,
cocaine, heroin, etc there are known dangers associated with the
consumption of alcohol.
It is well documented that medical and social costs are extremely
high, on a total population basis, as we deal with the grim aftermath
of drunks on the road, drunks on the water, failing internal organs,
brain damage, and other side effects of this potentially destructive
drug. It's probably fair to say that more lives are directly destroyed
by alcohol than by any of the other recreational drugs in society- but
the percentage of users who become seriously addicted is lower than
with some of the other legal and illegal choices available.

My point; (yes! I have one!)- Those who use no alcohol, tobacco, etc
etc etc have a right to take the soap box and preach about the dangers
of other drugs. When any of the rest of us do, we're hypocrites of the
highest order.

That, and your article refutes itself.

Now now - no need to insult boxes of rocks.

I mean when you think about, rocks just sit around all day. If they
could drink beer, they probably would.

And, just to make this relate to boating, rocks still are used as
ballast on certain types of boats.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but my 500 words were the byproduct

thought involved.

Your post was much longer, (if you include the article linked), and
most of it was simply a presentation of a position or opinion with
which you claimed to agree, rather than any expression any individual
opinion or perception.
