These are the years it's most likely to tip certain folks over the precipice into mental illness. A tiny minority are at risk, but those are the years.

- Zigurd 13y agoThere is a whole industry of Drug War sponsored quack science that is no more legit than tobacco company sponsored "science."
- threeseed 13y agoThere is plenty of objective, non-sponsored research that shows marijuana to have at least in some cases a negative effect. But nice work blanketing all of the research you disagree with as illegitimate.
- angersock 13y agoThen link it. EDIT: From last time we talked about this, some Google Scholar links-- http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890856709.. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890856709.... http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/180/3/216.short http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/180/3/216.short http://www.bmj.com/content/325/7374/1195.1.short http://www.bmj.com/content/325/7374/1195.1.short http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022395607.. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022395607.... Note, though, that these are pretty inconclusive as far as causality goes.

- tzs 13y agoCitation for this debunking?
- Zigurd 13y agoHere: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/01/09/1215678110.abstract http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/01/09/1215678110.abst... And, as a bonus, here is a debunking of a similar, and similarly widely touted study that made it into the Lancet. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19560900 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19560900 The point is: The whole purpose of these heavily funded studies is to penetrate mainstream journals. They were hyped in the mainstream press with the full weight of government behind the press blitz.
