Some people might gravitate to using marijuana/hashish/cannabis resin because they are LOOKING for a way to "medicate", to make the world and their problems retreat from them a bit. They might, therefore, have had mental issues BEFORE they became users and not developed them BECAUSE they use it. <br />There is, however, some question as to whether it is a stimulant, a depressant, or both. A lot of things are still unknown about it, which is another good reason to AVOID using it. I doubt that it is any more unhealthy or that it leads to any greater recklessness or lawlessness than alcohol use. The way that users tend to inhale it more deeply than cigarette smoke, hold it in to maximize its effects and smoke it w/o a proper filter likely make it a highly carcinogenic smoke.<br /><br /> HAROLD HECUBAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18041519.post-5542678469158379252010-10-04T20:01:08.815-04:002010-10-04T20:01:08.815-04:00"Cannabis users twice as likely to suffer men..."Cannabis users twice as likely to suffer mental problems than non-users (surprise, surprise)"<br /><br />While in no way do I advocate the use of marijuana, and I believe it should stay illegal, this study vexes me. Where is the control group?<br /><br />It is no secret that people with mental disorders gravitate towards stimulants to help cope with their issues. I know more than a few people where this is the case.<br /><br />Did the scientists test these people before hand for dispositions towards these diseases? Did they test them to see if the disease budded and progressed? What problems did they develop?<br /><br />Until they can meet these controls, this wil remain a "cum hoc ergo propter hoc" logical error. If they really want to properly advocate against marijuana use (as they should) then they will rectify those errors.<br /><br />~Your Brother~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
