[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 3200251, member: 35089"] every time I smoke weed I feel genuinely more relaxed and accepting of the world around me. Much less violence prone than my usual self. I am convinced that just about everyone is mentally "ill" to some degree so I cannot comment on that. From the article posted: "For centuries, people worldwide have understood that cannabis causes mental illness and violence—just as they’ve known that opiates cause addiction and overdose. Hard data on the relationship between marijuana and madness dates back 150 years, to British asylum registers in India. Yet 20 years ago, the United States moved to encourage wider use of cannabis and opiates." ^^^ This is utter ********. Maybe people that are ALREADY mentally ill use marijuana, but I do not believe cannabis use makes "sane" "normal" people mentally ill. The author has clumped together weed and opiates to make 1 argument for both and it is silly. [/QUOTE]
