“Cannabis causes mental illness and even one-off users show signs of behaviour linked to schizophrenia, pioneering research showed yesterday. It found in tests on 22 healthy students and academics that half showed an ‘acute psychotic reaction’ when injected with the main active ingredient of the drug. And it detected a series of similarities to symptoms of schizophrenia in their responses. The research, the first to try to chart exactly the impact of doses of cannabis on mental functions and mood, is one of the clearest indicators yet that the drug is a primary cause of mental illness. It suggests that current Home Office advice to young people, which says that the drug is dangerous only to those who already have mental health problems, is misinformed and misleading.” w/ photo

Is this why you stopped smoking? I don’t know if this is a reputable source… plus.. injecting?!?
Now, this isn’t about mental illness, but cancer….This appeared on the Congress Blog and Huffington Post
FOUR Universities (AMERICAN ones, can you believe it?!?) found in their research that “after adjusting for potential confounders (including smoking and alcohol drinking), 10 to 20 years of marijuana use was associated with a significantly reduced risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNDCC).”
If pot prevented cancer you would have read about it, right?
