              Experts say teens who often smoke pot are 4½ times more likely to suffer psychosis or schizophrenia in their 20s.

                    Dutch health ministry spokesman Ton Cramer said it was likely that cannabis would soon be outlawed again.
                    That article reeks of bullshit.

                            Smoking lots of weed definitly have some symptoms like anxiety, paranoya, deformed view of reality and other stuff like that . It's nothing TOO big and obvious, but on the long term, it does have it's effects

                                    Dude it has nothing to do with MAKING you a schytzo ... Lots of schytzos have no symptoms till the 40s etc etc etc. It just makes them appear quickly ...

                                    And you can argue all day about that but ...
                                    My father got 2 PhDs ... one of them is in psychology
                                    One of my father's best friend works in a mental instution and treat mostly drug addicts and schytzos
                                    Another of my father best friend works in a drug lab and in a prison testing long term effects of drugs on users. He's a general practitionsist and got a specialisation in neurology and braincells.

                                    I've argued more then enough with them about the effects of drug uses on my friend ... but they know the facts on long term ;)

                                    P.S. All of the people above smoke weed once in a while ;) Just don't abuse it.

                                      slight paranoia is the only thing i have ever expierienced.

                                      explain this deformed view of reality?

                                        how many psycho non-stoners have you seen?

                                        if none, then it doesn't mean shit.

                                        if you've seen some, then it still doesn't mean shit, because there are a lot more non-stoners than stoners.

                                        you probably didn't research a big population of people and see what % of stoners among them are psycho, and what % of non-stoners are...

                                        that's what EXPERTS are supposed to do. now, I'm not saying these specific EXPERTS did a good studying, but you surely didn't, so you can't really argue with them.

                                          I'm fairly certain they don't know the facts on long term, since those are still highly controversial and are still being researched. One large problem still hampering research is that it seems very likely that people with mental illnesses are more inclined to start using drugs in the first place, making it very difficult determining cause and effect.

                                                    Have to love the Sun style of making it sound like it is only going to be against British toursits and then filling the majority of the article full of stock statistics about British drug laws rather than filling it with information on their actual headline. Of course, that would have meant they would of had to interview an actual European.

                                                      I don't believe the article, the dutch government was talking about this some months ago but from what I heard nothing has come of it yet and almost certainly wont.

                                                      I wouldn't believe anything the Sun has to say, it's a pile of shite.

                                                                anything that messes with your brain is going to be bad for you. You hippies can throw the words "natural herb" around all you want but its still bad for you. Its not as bad as cigs, booz, and cocaine but your still better off not using it or if you do use it, only once in a while instead of getting stoned on a daily basis.

                                                                  So, you set up an address there, you take your tourists right to the dmv, or what ever they call it. They all get IDs made with that address and for the weekend, duration of the trip they are from there.

                                                                  They hand you the IDs at the end of the stay and you can a keep them on file or b destroy them at the travelers request.

                                                                  Weed smoking tours. All 100% legal, and you are making a nice profit.

                                                                                        So, you set up an address there, you take your tourists right to the dmv, or what ever they call it. They all get IDs made with that address and for the weekend, duration of the trip they are from there.

                                                                                        They hand you the IDs at the end of the stay and you can a keep them on file or b destroy them at the travelers request.

                                                                                        Weed smoking tours. All 100% legal, and you are making a nice profit.

                                                                                        All it takes is you buying a decent rental.. Say a B&B.
                                                                                        If you are going to go through all that fucking trouble, you might as wel get the weed in your own state.

                                                                                        The point of this full leagal shit is to cut down on the hassle. For the amount of extra time and money spent now you might as well just do it at home.
