I'd go so far as to say that all those who consider you to be a lawyer would also allege that you are a lawyer, unless, that is, they have actually seen documentation verifying that allegation, in which case they could cite that documentation as proof that you are, indeed, a lawyer.

Research suggests that smoking a large amount of cannabis frequently will trigger psychosis in 1/10 smokers. It is not something science will be able to clinically trial as it is inhumane to test people with a strong possibility of the test causing a psychotic episode.

It is a serious drug, my tip is 1 in 10 is too high a risk when the outcome could be you are a nut case for the rest of your life.

Do a search on google 'cannaabis and psychosis' and read some articles.

The recent campaign to promote the idea that marijuana "causes" psychosis is just a rehashing of the same propaganda that was pushed in "Reefer Madness" in the 1930s. It's right up there with "marijuana makes you a psychotic killer".

The predominance of the Psychosis Cannabis link papers are coming from the UK and are based on a sole study in South London over a 4 year period relating to about 2400 individuals --

The paper reported a possibility for those predisposed to psychosis already as having a slightly greater possibility, four years later, for those who smoked cannabis to report a psychotic episode.

But the study was flawed -- apparently the actual stress of living in increasingly urban and culturally diverse South London was not taken into account. Inability to secure employment and a raise in the poverty levels that would be even greater contributing factors to emotional problems were not added into the "equation" when figuring the causational factors for the psychotically predisposed -- so of course it MUST be the pot

Not to mention the incestial ancestry most come from.... i.e. cousins marrying cousins.... Early England was rampant with close marrying...My God, just look at Prince Charles .

i live on the south coast and everybody around here is related to each other. what can i say? it's a small country

i think that's historically the way of things in most areas though. somewhere down the line i bet even you can be tagged an inbred

i'm thinking it was funded by the home office to substitute for a few rounds of political ammunition after declassification.

"Actually, you might have a point, but not inbred.... I was born in Virginia and am White, but I highly suspect I have a little African blood in me, especially after Jefferson was outed banging his maid's daughter who was black"....
