- Schizophrenics are twice as likely to smoke marijuana as non-schizophrenics.
- People who smoke marijuana are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as those who do not smoke.
This is the dumbest argument ever. So what came first, the chicken or the egg?

she had a list of politicians with cross hairs on them
This is why we all need to focus on the positives aspects of Cannabis and spread the word. Those making a buck off of prohibition will continue this nonsense. Its our duty to put more work getting the truth out there. This doesn't surprise me, the sensible people of Arizona saw through the lies and voted in MMJ. Keep up the good work brothers and sisters, when ya see an article like this ya know were winning, there pulling anything they can out of the ever dwindling prohibition hat. 2011 is gonna be a great year. Peace, pot and karma. One Love
"while marijuana went from being a secret shared by a small community of hepcats and beatniks in the 1940s and '50s to a rite of passage for some 70% of youth by the turn of the century, rates of schizophrenia in the U.S. have remained flat, or possibly declined. For as long as it has been tracked, schizophrenia has been found to affect about 1% of the population." Time Mag.

"Within Krebs's study population of 190 patients (121 of whom had used cannabis), researchers found a subgroup of 44 whose disease was powerfully affected by the drug. These patients either developed schizophrenia within a month of beginning to smoke pot or saw their existing psychosis severely exacerbated with each successive exposure to the drug. Schizophrenia appeared in these patients nearly three years earlier than in other marijuana-users with the disease."
This is a quote from the study they did. There sure are a lot of broad terms used here (powerfully affected, successive exposure). I would like to know the exact number of people that really got the disease and how many just saw their existing psychosis exacerbated. https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=26158&pictureid=573780

Frum, as most conservative bloggers/ commentators is totally and completely full of shit and they know it. But none the less they will constantly ping marijuana as the cause of the shootings.And the rest of the low information types will buy into it. Pot bad make kill politicians.

Pot caused Jared Loughner to become psychotic, and drove him to shoot up a town hall meeting ?
This marijuana is the devil's lettuce I knew it !! Reefer madness was right...
That means Cannabis made Lee Harvey Oswald kill Kennedy, ohhh shit ?!?!

Maybe he ran out of the healing good green herb because of it's prohibition and then because of LACK OF IT that had normally kept his troubled soul medicated, then he went on a shooting spree. I guess it all depends on how you blame it and if you see the bowl as half full or half empty.

Was the affect of the marijuana what made him break with reality, or could it be the affect of the laws caused this tragedy.
Maybe if the people in AZ don't have so much trouble getting there "Medicine".
Jared Loughner might not have gone on such a mindless sense less Rampage.
