How can anybody promote mental illness? Is it ignorance or pure indifference that make people willingly ingest a plant that induces madness?
Fun fact: the CB1 receptor that is responsible for the feeling of being high also emulates schizophrenia.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4034083/ >Cannabinoid intoxication can provoke toxic psychoses or symptoms similar to the positive symptoms of schizophrenia >cannabis seems to provoke an amotivational syndrome similar to the negative symptoms of schizophrenia >In humans, mounting evidence shows that CB1 receptor densities are altered in schizophrenia
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3138655/ >Our finding of increased CB1R binding in paranoid SCZ could reflect a greater involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the DLPFC in this subtype of patients with SCZ as may be suggested by their more marked positive thought disorders and delusional symptoms.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4104335/ >We provide evidence that regular cannabis use is associated with gray matter volume reduction in the medial temporal cortex, temporal pole, parahippocampal gyrus, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex; these regions are rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors and functionally associated with motivational, emotional, and affective processing.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2424288/ >The strongest evidence that cannabis use is a contributory cause of schizophrenia comes from longitudinal studies of large representative samples of the population who have been followed over time to see if cannabis users are at higher risk of developing schizophrenia. >15-year prospective investigation of cannabis use and schizophrenia in 50,465 Swedish conscripts. The study found that those who had tried cannabis by age 18 were 2.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than those who had not 16 and the risk of this diagnosis increased with the frequency of cannabis use. >27-year follow-up of the Swedish cohort that also found a dose-response relationship between frequency of cannabis use at baseline and risk of schizophrenia during the follow-up. The relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia persisted when the authors statistically controlled for the effects of other drug use and other potential confounding factors, including a history of psychiatric symptoms at baseline. >supported in a three-year longitudinal study of the relationship between self-reported cannabis use and psychosis in a community sample of 4,848 people in the Netherlands >These findings have been replicated in one German and two New Zealand cohort studies.
Does the evidence suggest that cannabis causes schizophrenia in ppl who aren't already genetically predisposed to that disease, or that people who do have the genetic markers of schizophrenia can exacerbate their condition by using cannabis?

Cannabis causes schizophrenia. It doesn't elevate a preexisting condition.
Christopher Long
Smoked so much weed I got chronic bronchitis in college, amotivational syndrome for sure but I always wonder if it just brings out schizo in predisposed people
Adam Campbell
Drop the meme flag and we can talk. Otherwise, you're a gag and no one is reading all that shit.
Caleb Jenkins
Cannibis causes an internal voice. For those who haven’t experienced that, it seems like voices telling you what to do.

I like that you're shilling this here on Jow Forums where it'll have maximum political impact, also that you're shilling this specifically at a time when weed loving goblins & somalis are flooding into the west. I too like pissing in the wind.
Good for you. Glad your life improved user. Some of us can handle the high and enjoy it after a long day of work. So dont tread on me and your jew anti-weed propaganda from big pharma.
>HEY STONERS, inhaling anything except air is bad for you You drive a car right leaf, statistically it's almost certain ? Get off your high horse you poisoning fat fuck.
Zachary Rivera
lol hilarious
So anyone disputing the "weed cures cancer and makes life better meme" is a "Big Pharma" shill eh? I'm not getting paid for this dipshit
Say do you like science? I sure do Why is it when a normally intelligent skeptical type, when presented with scientifically PROVEN facts about MJ just can't handling it?
Ever wonder why weed is pushed so hard in pop culture? Here's a hint; its for the same reason porn is. Weed pacifies. It is the SOMA that allows you to "relax" after a hard days work.
You niggers are being played
Isaac Hernandez
Where’s the “Like” button?
Landon Morris
Do you drink before or when you at work?
Zachary Evans
A car has a utilitarian purpose. I have a cabin filter to take care of whatever fumes. I'm not on a high horse at all. Why would you even think that. I'm just pointing out the fact that potheads can't handle even the slightest criticism of weed.
Tyler Garcia
another typical fallback potheads have
>YUOR AN ALCHOHOLIC THEN
I drink sometimes but most of the time I'm quite sober
Let me ask you this user. Say you smoke 3-4 joints a day. What if you got drunk 3-4 times a day? that would be considered a drinking problem no? So why isn't getting high 3-4 times a day considered a problem?
Mason Lewis
> anti-weed thread left over from the other day many Jow Forumstards seem to be social outcasts for one reason or many. As such, they tend to resent the various trappings of "cool-kid-popular-culture" and, Richard Nixon, Republican Krampus, pigeon-holled weed as a left-wing issue along with being black, gay, disagreeing with republicans or being poor. Hating weed is just a meme for yuppies to flex self-imposed superiority. and you know, "Flexing self-imposed superiority" is basically the mission statement of Jow Forums
Smoked weed all day every day for a few years. By the end I was hearing voices, and being sober would make me a shit-head. The depression post quitting was almost unbearable.
I got Jow Forums, got a good paying job I love, and cut the bullshit out of my life. If ur not a pussy u don’t need drugs to cope, go ahead smoke ur weed. I won’t do it anymore I just know I’m not the guy who can handle a joint on the weekend anymore.
imagine being this much of a sheep. what a pathetic worm.
Eli Parker
I don't "go around" saying that. I responded to a post
Lincoln Myers
how can there be simultaneous studies of it being beneficial/destructive. also why do these threads always reference the same source? I've never seen another reference.
Bentley Powell
Need to dumb myself down to cope with interacting with NPC sheeple society
No boss will drug test me cuz they need my skills so bad
Charles Mitchell
Doesnt work though I can be a stoned puffy eyed blob and will still flip my shit when i see copy pasted code or poorly named variables or something
also how can there be people with jobs in the industry -- how can hundreds of workers maintain weed businesses if theyre all schizophrenics?
Nathan Adams
Will we ever stop responding to the Mad Polack? I haven't seen a "CiC" thread in quite a while and the posting style is the same. This can't possibly be a different guy spamming the same bait every day...can it?
Sebastian Rivera
this fucking fag spams the same thread 8 times a day
ban this cunt
Anthony Stewart
>stop smoking weed!
Kayden Green
It's literally fucking Soma you dipshits. A Drug that pacifies you? "Mellows" you out.... Yeah, cause that's exactly what you need to be right now.
I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean. An "internal voice" like the one Homer Simpson has? Where he is always talking with himself? Otherwise, I'm at a loss trying to interpret your comment.
I smoked some weed today and my internal voice has been laughing all day about “Beto” O’Rourke the fucking Boston Irishman pretending to be a Mexican “speaking in his native tongue” lmfao and this world is now officially clown world.
Alexander Cook
Well this is an interesting shit post... says nothing, isn’t funny, and confused me so much I’m now thinking about it. Strange times we live in.
Jacob Garcia

It should be legalized
Thomas Carter
OP, you're Russian and drunk on 2L vodka right now.
Remember meme flags are absolutely always jews that's the point that's why they were invented it's why you're here telling us marijuana is dangerous like a tool. Go drink a beer and a cigarette you stupid hypocrite.
Julian Brooks
>Cannabis causes schizophrenia. It doesn't elevate a preexisting condition.
You should avoid weed if you have schizophrenia and certain other neurological disorders, but no one except propagandists believe it "induces madness" in normal people, kys.
Go rally after alcohol, that has destroyed more lives than weed ever could and has zero beneficial uses unlike something our bodies have a system specially for.
