Did you take "Reefer Madness" for an accurate documentary? This was a scumbag publicity grab. As Howard suggested it has a lot more in common with Fred Phelps than a decent human being. Bill C ---------------- Funny you brought up reefer madness, because I read a news story the other day that the predictions of permanent psychosis caused by regular smoking of pot has now become reality. Of course when they made reefer madness, it was a cartoon, because the weed in those days was more likely to give you headache than get you high. But a half century of bio-engineering by potheads has created a weed that is so strong, that regular use will cause a certain mental breakdown. Dumbass - That is such an incredible load of crock. In this country we are surrounded by potheads who function very well. Personally, I don't like the stuff (puts me to sleep), but have plenty of friends who are chronic. Don't see any signs of psychosis in any of them. Oh, I can buy what he said if you define "permanent psychosis" and "a certain mental breakdown" as being really forgetful and not very considerate. Otherwise, no. -- tanx, Howard Never take a tenant with a monkey. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |

news:ybuti.96416$xk5.43950@edtnps82... Anecdotal. The study said subjects are 200 times more likely to experience a psychotic episode than non-smokers. Anecdotally, I've seen it recently in a close family member first-hand. Scared the sh*t out of us (and I was a daily user back in the day). While we there getting a mental health eval done, the E.R. doc told us despite what all the advocates for relaxed laws here in permissive Canada say, he's seen multiple cases of psychotic delusional thinking in that E.R. from nothing more than the whacky tobacky. It's real. We've seen it. You actually are arguing with Henry, the inventor of the greeting, "Dumbass!"? He's been on drugs since '81. |

Potheads doing bio-engineering must be a haphazard process, a bit like Shakespeare's monkeys or beavis and butthead do astrophysics. I'm sure Benjamin is a perfectly adequate astrophysicist. Sorry dude, what was that? I was looking at my hand. Have you ever looked at your hand, I mean _really_ looked at it? Hey, got any Clif bars? Ben |

From Wiki: He pitched well in 1988 but was involved in what some consider one of the most ridiculous accidents in baseball history when he severed the tip of his left middle finger while trimming his hedges in mid- September. I do not believe the stories athletes tell when recounting their injuries. Hedge trimming accident? Puhleeeze. A local baseball player suffered serious injuries in the off-season, told come crapola story, found out he was doing motorcycle stunts in a parking lot. Some athlete broke his wrist, said it happened when the golf cart stopped abruptly; yeah, he was drunk and riding on top of the golf cart. Anybody believes these stories lacks a critical facility. They injure themselves doing stupid ****. Yeah, like in Ojeda's case, trimming hedges instead of having a gardener do it. Whether he was drunk, doped or deranged, WTF does it matter? It's an athlete getting injured gardening theme, not the usual athlete lying and making stupid excuses theme. R |

It's real. We've seen it. It was spiked, perhaps with a dusting of PCP. If the dealer gets his supply from bikers it's likely to happen time to time. Unadulterated pot will not promote psychosis, but bikers looking to supply the strongest stuff in the city are prone to adding a little extra to the buds. You're in BC, right? The only sure solution is to grow it yourself. |

Always interesting to see comments like this from Kyle despite the medical literature to the contrary. |

The only sure solution is to grow it yourself. I'd be curious to see you substantiate the above, because I think you're wrong. The user was smoking daily and throughout the day. But you've got a point on the latter. The Vancouver Sun reported a year or two ago that the likelihood of jail time for running a (marijuana) grow-op (eration) does not tilt higher than 50% until the _seventh_ conviction, and even then it's only about a 52% likelihood. Grow ops get busted all the time around here, but you wonder what it is all accomplishing. |
