I'd like to see a comparison study done between 100 weed smokers vs. 100 alcohol drinkers.

"Pot And Psychosis: Possible Link?
British Studies Show Marijuana Use May Raise Risk Of Psychotic Illness Risk By 40%"

When I saw the headline, my first reaction was "DUH!!!"
I am the only survivor fo a group of high schoolers in th late 40's. They all used pot and drank booze, I didn''t because of a medical condition. I watch them destroy themselves on pot and booze. I KNOW what I saw, I outlived them all by 40 some years. My mind still works well. my vision is better than I have any right to hope for , hearing could be better and I have lost most of my sense of taste due to smoking since 1953. All in all, I am very happy to still be here. Please don't come to me with that "its only 'POT'" junk, I know better.

Reefer Madness. It's all about social control. 100 years ago people had more freedom than we do today. There is a concerted, obvious effort on the part of the ruling class to use scare tactics, whether terror or drugs (both are the reason for "wars" waged by the U.S.), to convince people that their lives must be monitored and regulated by Big Brother, lest we harm ourselves or are hit by the odd suicide bomber. The mainstream media is, of course, the propaganda arm of the ruling class. In Albert Speer's book, 'Inside The Third Reich', he noted that Hitler was merely the first tyrant to make full use of modern mass communication. Such mass communication is now, of course, much more highly sophisticated. Read Noam Chomsky's books on propaganda and the mass media.

Where are all these poeple that have developed psychoisis from marijuana?
It's been used by humans since before we kept records with not one documented case of psychosis.
Marijuana is a thorn in the governments side because the plant itself has so many uses. Hemp, same plant no THC, can be used to produce everything from lumber to textiles. Lobbying efforts by indudustries wishing to avoid the competition spend hundreds of millions of dollars to pressure our gov. representitives to keep it illegal.
God forbid I should receive junk mail made from a plant that can be harvested and grown every six months. Let's keep cutting down four hundred year old trees to let me know about Joe's carwash grand opening! Great logic!

There is yet to be one record of anyone ever overdosing solely on Cannibis.

Children under the age of 16 shouldn't smoke or drink anything anyways (developing brain cells)

Devils weed?

You mean God made the planet in seven days and realized later he created a plant that grows everywhere... was a mistake???

I think a better conclusion would be that Drinking water causes pyshosis, since 100% of those people that are psychotic have been shown to have drunk water.
