Scientists v Politicians: Round 3

David Nutt

"(T)here is a relatively small risk for smoking cannabis and psychotic illness compared with quite a substantial risk for smoking tobacco and lung cancer".

Furthermore, the professor points to what he describes as a paradox.

"Schizophrenia seems to be disappearing (from the general population) even though cannabis use has increased markedly in the last 30 years."

"Research," he argues, "consistently and clearly showed that psychosis and schizophrenia are still on the decline. So, even though skunk has been around now for 10 years, there has been no upswing in schizophrenia."

It certainly seems to affect the working of the brains of the people involved. They babble incoherently, display signs of megalomania, become paranoid and want to expose their inadequacies in public...

If GW Pharmaceuticals is the biggest "Skunk" grower in the UK, they should definitely shut them down if "skunk" is so positively dangerous, no?

No, it's only dangerous if YOU grow it!

Don't want Pharmaceutical Companies being the ONLY ones allowed to grow marijuana? Then LEGALIZE IT!

Or else one day the only cannabis you see will come in a pill.

I have three grown children. I'm very proud to say they've been raised with a healthy cynicism toward authority.

Do your children a huge favor and tell them to work hard and be good citizens, but NEVER take what our leaders say, seriously. Those idiots will get you killed.
