There's still a chance that cannabis might trigger schizophrenia, especially among people who start very young. This is at right angles to the legalisation debate, because alcohol and tobacco are likely to be even more harmful. It remains the case that intellectual honestly about this point should not get drowned out in all the politics.
Be careful what you put in your body. Especially if the thing is some novel substance. I guess this principle applies much more broadly than to cannabis.
- saiya-jin 4y agoThis is valid for alcohol too (father of ex-gf had schizophrenia triggered by alcohol binge at 18 and had to take strong meds for rest of his life, brain half vegetable). Or stressful event - we should ban those too. In the same time we let people freely get drowned in one of strongest addictions - nicotine. Oh but we banned (in some places) advertisement for it. We even get kids get hooked on it for life too via vaping.
- ogogmad 4y agoYour comment demonstrates a lack of reading comprehension. I don't care what we "let" people do, as I stressed in my comment. The actual point was that it's not as "safe" as many of its most blinkered advocates say it is.
