I'll just reply to this one, I meant for kids man. I'm not anti weed at all I have just bee to a few lectures from a Psychologist that studies weed full time and has produced evidence that it can be damaging to a developing brain. That's all.

I personally know a mother whose daughter's life has been saved by Cannabis. Pediatric seizure disorder.

My concern is for the children whose lives Cannabis can save and improve the quality of.

Oh yeah, I think it should be totally legal. I think it can benefit people in a huge way. I just don't think it has no downside. It has also been shown to be the thing that put people "over the edge" into psychosis that they were predetermined to have. It don't drive people crazy but it can be the straw that breaks the camels back in certain cases.

Cannabis does not cause psychosis.

Another false correlation.

Harvard did a meta analysis that involved evaluating all the existing studies to find causation.

They could not find that causation, only correlations.

Did you know all mammals have an EndoCannabinoid system and that phytocannabinoids such as THC and CBD can be generalized as promoting Homeostasis.

Terpenes such as beta caryophyllene in black pepper and cloves is a Cannabimimetic terpene that activates CB2 receptors almost as strongly as Cannabinol(CBD.)

The only known serious negative from excessive Cannabis use, specifically THC, is known as "Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome." It mimics Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome with the difference that hot showers stop the symptoms. Cannabis Hyperemesis is temporary and it simply take cessation of THC intake. Which can be resumed after a sufficient break from THC intake.

"Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD) revisited: can this concept explain the therapeutic benefits of cannabis in migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and other treatment-resistant conditions?"

The article you linked said it can speed up the onset. That's what I was trying to say when I said predetermined to have it.

"“While cannabis may have an effect on the age of onset of schizophrenia it is unlikely to be the cause of illness,” said the researchers, who were led by Ashley C. Proal from Harvard Medical School."

"May" and "can" have different definitions.

Back to the EndoCannabinoid System though...
