Think smoking pot is a harmless pastime? Think again. According to the latest scientific research, it can cause psychosis, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders. And worryingly, teenagers - the people who indulge most - are those most at risk. In this eye opening documentary, young users now being treated for psychosis speak candidly about their experiences.
Zie you are so right this is a disinformational documentary by people who know nothing about the chemistry of cannabis or its thousands of years of use by mankind. It is mans best friend. Cannabis is currently recommended to relieve anxiety and is supported by the American Medical Association for these symptoms that is described that it attributes. Admittedly, just like any medication, has different affects for different people. Addiction or rather people who are predisposed to such symptoms, it can magnify them, but that could be said about anything including common foods. Tomatoes are part of the same plant family and have cannabinoids present. As a number of vegetables that are entirely legal. So don't eat tomatoes either. Onions are high in opioid content, are you going to stop eating Onions because it is an opiate? Most flowers are think about that the next time you smell a flower. I have post traumatic stress, cannabis is recommended to me by my doctor to relieve anxiety and help me sleep soundly. As well as for my asthma. It is a broncho-dilator that does not have the effects of the amphetamine like current medications for asthma or chronic lung problems. Show me the medical studies that support these theories and I will shoot holes in them. But there are none that do not consistently include persons predisposed to the symptoms described here. This movie is nothing but propaganda, the people portrayed here are a small minority of cannabis users and according to the medical reports that agree with this movie they seek the minority who are predisposed to these symptoms and their social ineptitude is consistent with their outcast and social anxiety by the dominant social ideology against the different lifestyles in America. Literally they have social anxiety because they don't fit in with Christian values or national pride. We all know where that got Germany. There were many people put under social pressure to be good Germans, just like there is a heavy pressure to be good Christians, Muslims and Americans and live life the way we do or get out. We as citizens have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but some would be as if you are not white, Christian, married with children and consume you are not right. That is the cause of most social anxiety. I will not conform and I will not feel bad about it. I will not feel guilty because, I will fight to protect that right to be different. Most people wont, they pretend to be the same because they are afraid to let people know who they are. That's what social anxiety is a fear of allowing people to know who you are. Not a chemical problem, its a social problem caused by the fear of ostracism. Like the anxiety faced by homosexual people at having it known they are gay. That they could lose their job, their family will disown them, they won't be able to go to their church, to not enjoy the freedoms and rights which every citizen is guaranteed by law in this country. In fact, I believe it is very unamerican to pressure someone to live in such a way that is against their own prerogative. How dare I make these comparisons and suggestions, why I should be lynched. Right?
