I didn't see anything wrong with the study per say. They made an objective observation, unequivocally stated that weed may or may not be the cause beyond the increased rate of psychosis, and then stated that in their best opinion it is probably marijuana.
They probably have more reasons underlying this opinion. If what they had on msnbc is all the researchers had behind their claim, then yes, it's probably stupid, but my guess is that this article is a severely abridged version of the actual study that was published. Msnbc is not going to get into the nitty gritty scientific details.
And even if the study is accurate, so what? People do stuff all the time that is harmful for them. Alcohol damages your liver. It's probably still worse for your health than pot. Same with cigs. I don't understand why the government has a war against pot.
What would be bad is various agencies trying to mislead people based on this study. This study itself seems alright to me.
There could be something else about marijuana users, “like their tendency to use other drugs or certain personality traits, that could be causing the psychoses,” Zammit said.
Ahahaha. This guy fucking failed his psychology class.
Mescaline is hardly the drug of "fuckups". Also, Thanatos, shut the fuck up hypocrite.
How am I a hypocrite? All I do is smoke weed. I've dabbled around in various drugs before and I've realized that's not for me. From Spector's posts, it sounds like he's into all drugs known to man and he's consumed by them. That is what I meant by fuckup.
I don't believe weed is a gateway drug, either. Why?
Thanatos said:
It's because marijuana is the first drug that people try. Why? Because it's so easy to get and everybody does it. People don't think, "Hey.. I wanna see what drugs are like. Lemme pick up a crack pipe." No, they try weed because their best friend is smoking it.
