Cannabis causes schizophrenia. It stunts and reverses the brain's neocortical functions of sequential thinking, problem solving, logic and impulse control. Schizophrenia progresses from distorted perception, to hearing voices, to hallucinations, to paranoia. Cannabis destroys the brain's normal functions, and the person's life is forever negatively changed. Reply->

One stat base I found claims that 11% of all adolescents who smoke pot every day become addicted to the weed. Their thought processes are disrupted and problem solving requiring higher brain functions is made more difficult. Pot dealers have promoted as a myth that it enables creativity and problem solving - simply never proven. Reply->

The bad effects of Cannabis are well known to the medical profession. However there are other voices whose spurious aims have put doubt into the minds of the gullible, who prefer the social left and this is evidenced by their willingness to stand in the way of professional advice. Reply->

It is pretty obvious to me and all other intelligent people that the taking of any mind bending drugs of any kind is a pretty useless occupation of time. Except in the case of medical need I suggest that people cease to grow, buy or use marijuana and other similar pleasure enhancers which affect their well being. Reply->

We have dry counties in Mississippi because alcohol is the WORST drug of them all. Reply->

Anything taken to excess can cause a problem, but Marijuana and similar only need small amounts to affect a person. Reply->
