I'm not really sure why you're bringing up dementia, we were talking about psychosis psychosis is when someone is suffering from 1 of 3 symptoms 1. hallucinations 2. delusions 3. thought disorder The average recreational dose of marijuana isn't going to cause any of these three (although it could in a small % of people), in very high doses it can cause hallucinations, thought disorder and arguably delusions. It's acute though, not chronic. That's the main point here. | ||

But basically, if you have a history of paranoia and/or depression, it's best to stay away from MJ, cocaine, or Ritalin and similar stuff. Also, child porn is a huge moral panic nowadays, people are currently seriously in legal troubles for making 'child porn', as in, pictures of their own children of 4 playing naked in the garden... yeah it hardly causes it, you're right, doesn't mean it can't cause it. go eat 5 grams of weed and find out for yourself.

In the grand scheme of societal harm, they are likely the most disproportionately high-priority crimes in any system of law. Think of all the meth labs, weed plantations, work camps and slave labor in the world and then stop to think about the people that put together child porn to make money. Oh wait, you can't? That's right, nobody makes money from producing child porn and no actual children are really at risk as we speak. It's illegal and stigmatized so much that people don't wanna touch or be associated with it so it's a problem that will never grow. Domestic abuse and sexual predators are a real problem make no mistake about that but there is no child porn industry in the same sense as drugs constitute an industry. Largely an imaginary evil. I don't know anything about child pornography industry, but I do know that child prostitution is a real and serious problem in S.E Asia and some European countries as well. That being said, claiming that "nobody makes money from producing child porn and no actual children are really at risk" is a monumental and arrogant claim. | ||

Is this bad? I think not. Maybe it's just cause I've smoked multiple times a day for the past 4 or 5 years, but I'm perfectly sane. People see the word psychosis and think "oh weed makes you crazy" no, it just makes it a little more pretty when you close your eyes. I also cannot think as well when I am sober, since too much fluff gets in the way. Soooooo many people have such a warped idea of what weed does to you....for most people there is barely an effect. But with so many big words about what it causes getting thrown around, along with a great deal of age old misconceptions based on old propaganda.....it's easy for people to think things to be true, when in fact they are nothing near true. Anybody ever hear the "marijuana kills your braincells!" line? Wanna know how that study was conducted? They took one of the smaller breeds of monkeys, put gas masks on em, and pumped pure burnt cannabis(no oxygen or breaks) for 5 minutes into the lungs of the monkeys. It doesn't take a smart person to know that no air for 5 minutes, along with a great deal of smoke, would suffocate the poor monkey, and guess what a lack of oxygen does to your brain? YUP YUP brain cells die. Correlation=causation all the time no matter what so of course, weed kills brain cells. God dammit I hate people that believe shit like that. | ||

It's acute though, not chronic. That's the main point here. The point about this 'psychosis' is that what is a delusion is so vague, who's going to decide what is true and what isn't? You can just as well argue that having faith in psychiatry is a delusion as from a purely formal perspective it's a pseudoscience. On April 03 2011 07:59 chonkyfire wrote: Experience isn't evidence.

Trust me, I know from experience it can cause acute psychosis The point is that this isn't 'causing' it as much as just bringing to the surface something that is already there. It hasn't been shown to induce psychosis into people that aren't already at risk just yet.

A lot of jobs only exist because cannabis is illegal. The fact that those jobs shouldn't exist and cannabis should be legal isn't really considered. | ||

And a company will come along to distribute it. And they'll decide how much they charge for it. Which will be a lot. And anyone caught with their own will be considered a thief. Not that I'm in super support or anything, as I've never gone near the stuff, but isn't that what happened to Tabacoo/Cigs (not that they were ever illegal) and I think people who smoke that are glad it's at least legal. | ||
