Cannabis users are more likely to feel deceived and alienated

[jimmyz]

Since giving-up drink and having my weed days being long gone, I get a kick out of great hot teas and good homemade food. Getting to sleep in a couple minutes and remembering where I laid my keys is a joy not to be missed.

An added bonus is that I have more money towards my shooting and outdoor hobbies.

Firstly, any "research" like this, coming from the UK can be immediately discounted (Daily Fail LOL) as bunk bull$#@!.

That being said, I have known heads that had to quit because as THC levels increase (original White Widow) so does the "paranoia" or as I like to call them "panic attacks" as well. As far as I know most of those that I know have taken a break and then got back into the herbs but less frequently or less quantity wise. I have had panic attacks related to really chronic boo, but I have always been able to work through it...The positive has always outweighed the negative...maybe it's just me...

I smoked the very original "Thai Weed" and not even then did I get any of those symptoms. I was, however, q u i t e stoned. Still did not enter the public eye. A low profile is no profile

Cannabis users are more likely to feel deceived and alienated by others, study finds

• Marijuana users are significantly more likely to feel that others wish them harm
• Cannabis increases connectivity in the brain regions associated with psychosis
• Teenage users are particularly affected as their brains are still developing
• Brain activity could be monitored to determine users' mental health risks
• In the US, 44 percent of those aged 12 or over have used cannabis at some point

Cannabis users are more likely to experience negative emotions, particularly feeling alienated from others, new research reveals.
People who use marijuana are significantly more likely to feel that others wish them harm or are deceiving them, a US study found.
Brain scans also reveal the class-B drug increases signal connectivity in regions of the brain that have previously been linked to psychosis, the research adds, which is associated with severe depression.
Teenage cannabis users are particularly affected as their brains are still developing, according to the researchers.
In the US, 44 percent of those aged 12 or over have used cannabis at some point in their lives.

The society DOES alienate them! So when you were working would you rather have to deal with a drunk or a stoned guy one on one?

You took too much.

Nah, I stopped smoking it because it was becoming more and more common. Like I said, it's probably at least partially related to my own wiring and personality. My brother loved it. Smoked it daily for over a decade. It was the least interesting drug in my experience.

As the push for wide scale legalization grows, expect to see increasing anti pot propaganda from the two biggest opposistion camps who stand to lose the most, Big Pharma (cant patent it) and the prohibition crowd (law enforcement and corrections)

If you could smoke pot anywhere then what would people who don't smoke say then?

And the governmment controllist . The politicians who can argue about pot and avoid facing real issues.. To me it's simple. Compare pot to alcohol. Is pot even more harmful than alcohol? Hell no. Than legalize it and save lives and tax dollars.
I would not like to see people smoke it however, there are now better routes of administration forthose who hoose to use..

New dealers will emerge. In fact IMO the most dangerous thing about pot is that megacorps will get their hands on it and make it addicctive as they made tobacco evven more addictive than it already was..
