I'm concerned that the bullshit forces won't stop until they control any & all aspects of our lives.

Quote:
The researchers said they couldn't prove that marijuana use itself increases the risk of psychosis, a category of several disorders with schizophrenia being the most commonly known.

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.


and yet...

Quote:
Dr. Wilson Compton, a senior scientist at the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Washington, called the study persuasive.


and...

Quote:
"We've reached the end of the road with these kinds of studies," said Dr. Robin Murray of King's College, who had no role in the Lancet study. "Experts are now agreed on the connection between cannabis and psychoses. What we need now is for 14-year-olds to know it."


There are folks getting govt $$$ to prove by any means possible something they've already concluded, despite any evidence to the contrary.

Clearly, some people subscribe to the philosophy in my sig below...the difference being that I express it with my usual dose of heavy sarcasm...
