First off I'd like to use a really good post from Marvel to prove what we are up against in the war against prohibition.
Dope Tales toll on Mental Health
Cannabis smokers are more likely to suffer depression, anxiety and psychosis that stimulant drug users, according to Australian statistics , suggesting its toll on mental health has been underestimated.
A National study shows that dope smokers display higher rates of several psychological symptoms when visiting there doctors than stimulant users.
VC says the story spits out some crappy stats etc and goes on to say how a lot of people don't mention to their doctor they use MJ. I bet thats people like Marval and myself, and many on here too. Its goes on to say
It was unexpected given what we hear about amphetamine related psychotic symptoms but it goes to show what a terrible impact cannibas is having on users. The delusions, hallucinations and paranoia can be very distressing and people are feeling it
VC says yeah these are the light weights who try MJ for the first time, get so wasted they spin out and start spreading the bad word. What about when I got to drunk as a 15 yo and spewed all through my parents living room? meh!
The randomly collected data from 1000 practitioners also revealed that mentioning cannabis use to a doctor was rare, but users were more likely to be male, young, unemployed or on low income and indigenous.
VC says Fuck I'm getting angry over this bullshit again. In Australia (remember I'm a New Zealander not an Aussie) they have a major problem with there indigenous people and alcohol. The Aboriginals can't handle liquor and it has fractured a race of people. I doubt that many of them smoke (or vape) MJ. Its the same in NZ although alot of Maoris do use MJ but its alcohol that has caused them major problems and the blackmarket has actually helped many as its provided them with an income.
Seems to me the study was funded by either Pharmaceutical companies or alcohol producers. I just hate seeing this shit because its nothing new. grrrrrr
I know I could have added this to the legalise thread but thought it deserved its own spot.
I too am a working professional with 20 years in the Computer Industry (IT) having worked for IT heavy weights IBM and EDS. I'm also a regular MJ user and have been since I started my working career. I don't consider MJ to have harmed my career at all ... and then you pick up the morning paper and they say this in the local paper:marvel said:
