Not for the faint hearted + contains swearing
Don't know if anyone has ever seen the comedy series called ' Ideal', it's about a marijuana drug seller and his drugged up mates.
Maybe marijuana can cause psychosis after all

It was posted half a year ago. YouTube went through a happy delete streak recently so that probably went with it

You might agree but scientists who researched this matter do not agree.
There is NO direct link that connects Cannabis use with psychosis. ZERO.
What most people have read in the "news" is that there is "a link" but every scientist can tell you that no direct link has ever been found despite 30 years of really looking hard to find one, subsidised by various governments.
Every single time research has been done in order to find negative effects of Cannabis use, results have displayed the opposite. Research has been done to establish proof of it causing cancer, the results displayed Cannabis to reduce the risk, it actually kills cancer cells. Research was done to prove that it efects the brains of students negatively, the result displayed the opposite, and so on.
Cannabis is one of the most researched substances on earth for the past 30 years and still all the prohibitionists can show to prove their arguments are lies.
It's time to re-legalize.

Oh? So you believe that the plant should have NEVER been prohibited, then?

I agree, Ferre. In fact I agree with 99% of what you have to say on the subject.
The question was can it cause psychosis. My answer remains the same: sure, of course it could. The fact is, it hasn't, to my knowledge.

I think that what people ignorant on the subject don't realize, is that any percieved negative effects, completely vanish with cessation. The simple solution for a person that percieves any undesirable negative effects, is to simply not use it again.

It is NOT like alcohol, for example, which is a drug with a nasty pyhsical addiction potential.

Some may think that what I'm about to say is an oversimplification, but I assure you it is not: there is only one reason half this country uses weed, and that is simply because they want to. It is really as simple as that.
