Reply #63: I did understand that it was a site about Schiz. [View All]

But I am curious...

Why did you choose to single out this particular factor, over all other factors, many far more significant and well documented? You do realize that you could probably get a grant to be the 31st paper cited on this page? Because the work that gets funded is the stuff that promises to further reinforce the prohibition. I saw the kind of research that was getting funded in the 80's, and some of it got published without the normal peer review process. What is that kind of science? We call it Lysenkoism. Google Trofin Lysenko for more.

For example, if I was going to post a warning message about schizophrenia, I would suggest everyone have their parents tested. You yourself noted other factors in defense of the site.

Whether you intended this or not, your post comes off as just another reefer madness scare, and really, that particular system of social control has been taken to the well and pulled out empty far too many times in the last 50 years. You may have an anacdotal validation for your concern, and I am not diminishing your feelings about that, but I talked to a Neurologist on her way to Houston right before I had a stroke... Should I conclude that talking about the stroke caused it, or urge others not to talk about strokes with Neurologists?

If I was going to write a drastic warning about pot, I would post one with a header that said--

"Warnin, Marijuana may lead to arrest, prison rape, and permanent loss of voting privileges." Because frankly, prison rape is a far greater public health issue with MJ usage than schizophrenia.
