The question I would ask is does marijuana cause mental health problems or do those with mental health problems smoke marijuana?



.....it is also entirely possible that because there is now a lot more attention being paid to the subject that we are only now seeing what causalities do exist. However the only sensible way to interpret such figures is to compare them to other drug outcomes. Comparing the dangers of canabis to those of alcohol is a salutary lesson for those who would ban pot while sipping a nice merlot.

The ideal model for a jail is that of a train platform. When there is no standing room left people either fall in front of a train or get electrocuted by the live rail. I was joking but you already do that platform thing right?

Is anyone claiming that there is a documented danger from mere alcohol use as opposed to alcohol abuse?  Where could I read more about the dangers of that occasional Merlot?

Come on you dipsticks who note that people turn to crime to finance a drug habit; of course they do because "moralisers" have criminalised drug consumption and hence the price rockets because criminals control the supply side. NO?

Regarding the so called law of supply and demand economic "experts", a bastard discipline if ever there was one, should note that even tho' there is a glut of porn on the market the price hasn't dropped to BOGOF. Buy one get one free lol
I hate Economists lol

I am also for legalizing pot but some of the claims about all the prisons filled with people convicted of possession are just wrong.

At least read the information in the link below.
