Teenage cannabis smokers face NO increased risk of mental or physical health problems

Rubbish source.

I suggest you read around reliable evidence.

''we conclude that there is now sufficient evidence to warn young people that using cannabis could increase their risk of developing a psychotic illness later in life.''

Lol, I will avoid turning this into a debate about atheist morality.

The strangest thing I find with this debate is that those on both sides are quick to attach absolute authority to whichever new study has just supported their bias while simultaneously denouncing those which support the opposite.

I suggest everyone assume a position of scepticism on any study proposing to conclude such a hot topic.

Thoughts?

I think that's a load of ****e cuz I've had a long battle with weed addiction and both my physical and mental health went down the toilet... Maybe not from weed itself but from all the knock-on effects like staying up late then sleeping all day, bad for your physical health. Then instead of studying you just wanna watch South Park for as long as possible so your mental health goes down the toilet. I mean the list goes on for miles, these examples are just the tip of the iceberg.

1) While I'm sorry to hear about your addiction, the bolded part says it all.
2) Are you really trying to use a song as evidence?

I do not think that's true nor relevant to my post.

The important distinction between the two types of studies are risk or no risk.

1) I'm confused by the bolded part, and you are some strange character if you've never smoked weed and are now trying to defend it.

2) fcuk yes I am!

That is a very selfish view.

I know two very respectable people in my life with horrible conditions such as MS. They have to hide and use weed undercover to avoid having their door busted down by the police. If it were legalised they could go to their Doctor and pick up Medical grade cannabis that would help them a great deal with dealing with their conditions.

+ If weed was legal here the price would be max £18/gram. Paying £8 extra to smoke legal herb and not worry about police ruining your life forever, being able to choose your own strain and have access to legit high quality stuff is nothing.

1) If it wasn't the weed itself that caused the problems, then it's not an argument against legalisation. I have smoked weed more times than I could possibly count, and I've even done a near 4000 word essay on marijuana addiction (I'll PM you it if you don't believe me), so your "you've never smoked weed" point won't work here. Try again

2) You do realise that what artists say in songs are mostly exaggerations or just lies full stop?

Whatever, man I's saying that weed is bad because it makes people lazy and less motivated.

Whatever, man I's saying that weed is bad because it makes people lazy and less motivated. And it definitely impacts your health if you smoke it because smoking anything will bring the oxygen levels in your blood down by 10% or more.

Maybe your some different breed of superhuman that are immune to the negative effects of weed but guess what? most people aren't and if we had a nation full of stoners then the economy and workforce would go tits-up very quickly

Blanket statement. For many, it's invigorating and inspiring.

Making people lazy and unmotivated is an old myth.

Here we go, we've got an Internet scientist who knows everything about science because he's got Google. How do you feel that almost every successful rapper smokes weed and are still motivated and not lazy
