Legalizing marijuana

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.

>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

>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.

>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.

>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.

>A NIDA-funded brain imaging study has shown that regular users of marijuana have less gray matter than nonusers of the drugin the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a brain region that contributes to impulse control, decision-making, and learning. Such a deficit could make it more difficult to change counterproductive behaviors, including drug use.

Meh. We have liberals. What's Pot in comparison?

now do caffeine and alcohol.

Same goes for tobacco, alcohol.

I believe they all should be restricted in some manner (aside from the existing age limit) as some people are simply unable of controlling themselves.

>comparing caffeine and alcohol to marijuana

False equivalency, you deadbeat. Get a job.

>this part of the brain that duz one thing duz something else too!

fucking faggot

This image bassically represents all potheads I live around in colorado weed and shitskins fucked up this state badly

You're right, alcohol is more addicting and more debilitating. Caffiene is a stimulant that causes dependence in order to properly function each day. Weed's not great for you but fuck off if you think it's the biggest substance abuse issue in the USA.

The idea of weed makeing people schizophrenic is fucking beyond autistic. I've smoked it on and off since age 13 and honestly I'm more sane and grounded in reality when I'm smoking then when I'm sober.

Lots of things are bad for you. This is not an argument to make something illegal and criminal. Try again fag.

Some people are predisposed to schizophrenia and modern strains have high thc. Some people are predisposed to alcoholism and shouldn’t be drinking at all much less everclear.

Legalization is making it less taboo thus less appealing which is a good thing. All or nothing attitude is how you get prohibition and speakeasies.

This

Not Jewish but made by a child. The differences are easy to spot

I bet these are the same doctors that tell you pharmaceutical drugs are good.

>Not recognizing Quentin memes

Careful, your noob is showing.

Why? Lot's of people are for it.

Schizophrenia is a genetic issue. You must be genetically predisposed to develop the disease; you cannot just get it out of the blue. It is true that drugs such as marijuana has potential to trigger the disease, however the majority of the population is not at risk for this.

If you know schizophrenia runs in your family, I would avoid hallucinogenic drugs.

Weed affects people differently, some enjoy it, others experience increased anxiety. If you try it for the first time, use a small amount. Occasional use is not going to fry your brain.

At the end of the day, if it's not for you simply do not do it and carry on with your day.

>How can anybody promote mental illness?
some of the most wealthist people on earth
have said that reality is a simulation ie fake.
schizophrenia is a detachment from reality.
it seems that if you want a real reality smoking
weed is the best way to detach from the false
reality. OP is a hive guard faggot true schizo.

Go be a moral busybody somewhere else faggot. Who cares if someone wants to smoke pot until that fucking toenail clippings alert sniffer dogs. Who fucking cares if someone wants to drink themselves into a stupor every day. Who fucking cares if someone wants to fry their brains with massive doses of lsd. The answer is fucking nobody. Keep them out of the hands of those under 18. Everything beyond that is up to an individuals choice one they reach the recognised age of majority.
(Also fuck the 18/21 thing. One or the other faggots pick one.)

Nah Jews just love pharma that kills people and hates plants that heal people.

It isn’t harmless, it definitely can slow you down, fuck up your mental development, and trigger or worsen mental illnesses, but i dont think it or any other drug should be illegal, let society handle this shit.

Kek understands.

Its actually hard to tell the difference between some stoners and metheads

Keep drinking the koolaid from the marijuana industry that understates the negative effects tho

If your only interested in a health supplement then take CBD or hemp oil

oh wait....you cant get high off that

I refuse to believe anyone over the age of 20 with life experience could be against weed. You're responding to underage highschooler losers who don't have the friends or connections to obtain weed.

I agree we need to lock these people up so my prison can clear another 30 grand in federal taxes

far better than liberals, that's what.

I have a job and agree with that guy, Describe it you fucking tard.

ive been smoking over 20 years
i have my own company
i smoke every day, and if not, id kill someone out of pure rage for the world
its not cool
its not special
nor is it deadly or destructive
if weed hurts anyone, they were already hurt to begin with
you dont know what youre talking about kids. you really dont. im not a nigger blunt cuh. im just some guy who smokes weed and hates kikes

Daily reminder that national socialist Germany never banned a single drug.

keep it up leaf faggot, your shitty memes filled with words should be used to choke yourself because your worth less than the air you breath.

this so much, I always find it funny how autistic faggots like the OP think that keeping it illegal helps at all when all data shows that legalization leads to less use...

Also, weed was easier to get in high school than beer... which furthers that these autistic faggots should shut the fuck up or neck themselves.

you're a fuck up

25 now, started smoking at 21, quit for good 3 days ago. OP is not wrong. Honestly, there are a very small number of outliers out there that can smoke every day and function. I thought I was one of them...but when your high for essentially months at a time, your perspective tends to be majorly fucked. TLDR - Any stoner bro that denies the obvious negatives of weed only does so because they havent actually stopped smoking since they started.

So you've been off for 3 days, how scientific

jesus, the absolute cope. are you high right now? I already said I tried to quit before. did you not see all the obvious "scientific" articles in this thread?
