Cannabis Makes You Mental

[gozzy]

Hippies badly pwned here

"daily users in their teens are seven times more prone to suicide attempts."


Can recreational use still be justified or is this all just scientific mumbo jumbo?

The issue here is one of correlation versus causality. It is as reasonable to say that mental health problems lead to cannabis use as it is to suggest the reverse. This study points in one direction but it is only one study, and it does not explain why these people begin using cannabis to begin with.

Do you think it is only ''hippies'' who smoke cannabis gozzy?

What sort if test results would they get on the same number of teenagers who drink from a young age?

Indeed. Or, frankly, if they assessed caffeine's relationship to depression and anxiety?

Others have come to the same conclusion.

There does seem to be a mental health risk associated with cannabis use. To what extent remains unclear.

As for causality, perhaps users are suffering psychologically to begin with, but does turning to cannabis actually exacerbate their problems?

Sure this study just proves that cannabis should be regulated.
Dealers dont ask for i.d.

Of course if young teens take any drugs at a young age it will affect their minds.

The fact that teenagers in Ireland are twice as likey to smoke cannabis shows in my mind that they are buying it and are being dealt it by dealers who will never be stopped by the laws we have as it is.

To think that monged up gobshite is an overpaid MEP.

Shur he'll miss every vote because he won't be up before lunchtime.

 

[Wumble]

I don't think even Ming advocates that kids should be smoking weed.

I don't know anyone who has that opinion. Do any of you?
