Pot, the Brain and Schizophrenia

www.dailyrxnews.com

Marijuana and similar drugs have well-documented short-term effects on the brain. And new evidence suggests that in younger, male smokers, pot may have some long-term brain effects, too.

A study from the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at teen boys who used marijuana before age 16. When the boys had a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia, those who tried pot had differences in brain development compared to those who abstained.

    Like schizophrenia is a bad thing. This type of brain development has a place in society, not just academic or specialist, they can be the most calm and level headed when normal people are experiencing chaos, disorder or revolution.

    Normal people are more dangerous because they aren’t as aware and tend to be more ignorant. Especially towards unnormal people whom they need to label and classify.

    But crazy is the new cool. Normal people love to use crazy psycho related words in their conversation, just to sound like their normal lives are a bit more dramatic than boring, tedious and predictable.

    Dear schizophrenics reading this. Celebrate it, embrace it, and find a good use for your brain specialization, that serves humanity better. If pot helps bring it out, then more power to you. Excel in the cerebral advantages your condition offers, something that normal people lack. And only wish they could. They fear mutants and mutant powers

    The genetic condition is a gift. Saying that specifically pot causes psychosis is quite ignorant and simple minded. As if to suggest that schizophrenics don’t have an endo cannabinoid system and receptors.

    Schizophrenia has many causes and manifests itself in many ways. Pot causes schizophrenia. It is that simple. Studies are now showing that the risk increases without connection to "genetic predisposition." This makes sense given that anyone can get schizophrenia/chronic psychosis given the right conditions… Also vulnerable populations (demographic of young men relative to overall population) are decreasing while use is increasing, meaning that the levels of new cases could be epidemic but not show up as a change in the perecentage of the entire population.

    What similar drugs? What documentations? What new evidence? A new Toronto studie, which one?

    I can do this too:
    dailyRx is a media quite similar to others and they’ve been documented to spread lies. Some evidence suggests that they’re controlled by Russia and a recent studie made in Washington found that 5/10 reporters working for dailyRx are indeed sexual offenders that may also be nazis.
