You are wrong about this but understandably so, They carefully crafted this propaganda illusion and the following points make it believable.

The only illusion is the one you are promoting - that cannabis is totally harmless and has no causal effect in mental illness. THC is a psychoactive drug and it's abuse can have negative consequences, especially for young developing minds.

Well I just provided verifiable facts showing you the government is lying to you. Caffeine is a psychotropic drug to but just because something is psychoactive dose not mean it makes you lose your mind then go kill babies and commit acts of terrorism like the UK government says. The American and British government both deliberately lied to start a war in the Middle East that killed over a million people and counting, do you think their moral compass is going to stop them from lying after they get some of that hot wet stinky GW Pharma cash??? Im kind of depressed it is 2018 and we are still debating reefer madness propaganda from the 1930's this stuff was known to be lies in America back in the 1960's because governments lie about stuff to control people that's what they do.

I'm certainly not disputing the fact it can be a trigger in vulnerable people in much the same way running a marathon in hot weather is a trigger for heart attacks in people with heart conditions.


My grief is with the inference by governments that it can cause it in anyone which I'm sorry but you'll never convince me is true.

I'm going to have to agree with Natural High, and it is nothing that i learned from 'news' or read or heard somewhere...

It takes a combination of things to bring psychosis to the surface and cannabis CAN indeed be one ingredient in that combination.

Does it mean cannabis is the sole cause, of course not, it does have many benefits indeed but it can bring on unwanted consequences/symptoms to some individuals.

I witnessed it with one of my closest friends, and have had some extended periods in my life where it REALLY didn't mix well with me.

Also, psychosis does not mean harming other people or becoming violent either.

Whether or not you accept it is another story.

I'd say that myth falls right around boiling the roots when harvesting to force the THC into the buds. LMAO

This is a perfect example of believing what you want to believe. I know it can cause psychosis because it happened to me. I also know a young man in his early twenties who has just had to quit because he has developed psychosis from heavy cannabis use. Another friend developed Schizophrenia 30 years ago, brought on by cannabis use, and he still has it to this day.

You are wrong about this but understandably so, They carefully crafted this propaganda illusion and the following points make it believable.

1) They deliberately mix up a symptom of psychosis with a cause. Drug use is a symptom of mental illness not a cause just like alcohol use is a symptom of PTSD. Nobody looks at war veterans and says vodka gave them PTSD just because they drink it a lot. A rooster singing dose not make the sun come up.

1) Schizophrenia develops in late teens and early adulthood, its rare for people to develop it before that. So you have a bunch of people saying they smoked in their teens then developed schizophrenia later on and they think they are living proof when they would have become schizophrenic anyway.

3) They deliberately mix up and confuse anxiety and paranoia for psychosis. Saying cannabis makes you schizophrenic is like saying its been proven hot peppers set your mouth on fire because they burn your mouth or alcohol gives you the fighting skills of Bruce Lee because you feel fearless and confident before a fight when you are drunk.

There is a vid on YouTube if you just search "Culture High Schizophrenia" that has doctors and scientists debunking this myth. Even saying it happens to vulnerable people has been dis proven because schizophrenic psychosis has remained at only 1% of the population while high potency cannabis use has skyrocketed since the late 80's. A number of studies have dis proven this myth but U.K media dose not talk about them.

Modern reefer madness in the UK is very interesting because its rare in other countries but it is nothing more than the corporate media and UK government protecting the profits of pharmaceutical companies in exchange for lobbyist money. It should be debunked because it is actually getting dangerous. I have seen entertainment media from the U.K. actually glamorizing and glorifying violence against cannabis smokers and dealers. If someone develops schizophrenia and just so happens to smoke cannabis by coincidence a relative or loved one may actually end up murdering their dealer or smoking buddy because they have been brainwashed into thinking cannabis caused it.

The British reefer madness is so wacky now I almost started a thread on the stuff you see in the media.

Was thinking the same thing. Someone years ago told me a variation on that where you add sugar to the boiling water to make it taste sweeter.

I was not surprised to discover this Big Pharma advert considering the amount of skillful PR trolling Canna forums with pure deception promoting ReeferMadness while also genuflecting as a fan of Canna.
