Because the notion that marijuana is generally damaging to the psyche is junk science. While it is true that any mood altering substance can serve as an aggravating catalyst to an existing pathology, that presumptive fact has been strategically exaggerated to serve the interest of Reefer Madness proponents.Back to the topic, though.
I still want to know why the numbers have not increased???????????
Actually, I don't believe much about anything folks under the influence tell me. And, those who use cannabis on a regular basis are not too credible in my book, either. But, that really doesn't matter too much, most of the private sector and all of the federal government will shitcan a stoner if s/he has a positive piss test.I would never hire a stoner. Those under the influence have garbage thinking and are nonproductive. And, sometimes they are outright dangerous on the job.
That is funny I know of three people who have gotten a promotion or a raise for good job performance in the last month, who also smoke pot on their free time.
You know nothing about people who smoke pot. You just believe whatever they tell you.
But way to address the OP.
But, those who use do have a choice.
My preference is not to have them anywhere near me when I work and thankfully, my employer makes sure they aren't.

People who think people are not credible simply because they smoke marijuana are not credible in my book.
I suppose you don't read many scientific pubs, then. Rarely does one state anything as if it were written in stone.First of all, one can see the data if they have a subscription. Secondly, showing causal relationship is a very straightforward analysis of the data based on a properly designed experiment. If you have a peer-reviewed paper showing a causal relationship between drinking milk and psychosis, I encourage you to post it. Thirdly, this is the British Medical Journal which is one of the most respected scientific journals in the world. I am sure that the paper was thoroughly peer-reviewed and if the analysis on a causal relationship was not robust and the experimental design was not, the paper would not have been published.
blah, blah, blah
one doesn't have a subscription; one has no interest in getting a subscription and one can see from what is made available to the unwashed masses from the British Medical Journal that no claim is made of an increase in psychosis due to marijuana use but rather that the risk of psychosis *appears* to be increased by marijuana use.
that's a very different proposition than what you appear to be stating, and one would think much easier to float in the neverending parade of bullshit put forth by practitioners of the social *sciences*.
I'm wondering why you asked for the data if you had no interest in it.
What I appear to be stating is quoting from two separate papers. I've shown peer-reviewed work that links cannabis use to psychosis, based on the science they did. There is always room for additional science that may further reinforce the current hypothesis, may make the hypothesis more limited and/or specific, or conflict with it. This is the way knowledge grows.
And, as far as I know, medicine is an applied science.
Oh, and by the way
[Emphasis added]Epidemiological evidence
Contemporary interest in this topic began with a longitudinal study of Swedish conscripts reported by Andreasson and his colleagues. 1 Their findings have been replicated and extended in a series of longitudinal studies 2 6 all of which have found increased rates of psychosis or psychotic symptoms in people using cannabis ( table ). Furthermore, these findings of longitudinal, case-control studies have been augmented by a series of cross-sectional studies of large populations 7 and high risk populations. 8 11 These studies produce the following suggestive evidence that supports the conclusion that the link between the use of cannabis and increased risks of psychosis is likely to be causal.

I saw it. You typed that psychosis is not increasing. Should I take your word for it or non-peer-reviewed info from the net?Oh, and by the way

. Google is your friend. Try it sometime. When I found that article I found at least five others saying it has not increased with the increase of marijuana. In reality, the only connection is the fact both use and mental illness usually start in your late teens early twenties.
Yes. Marijuana does stimulate appetite. If you use marijuana be prepared to gain a few pounds.Naah open up a good doughnut and pastry shop.
I dont indulge, but dont they get like a salty muchy? More snacks than doughntut and sweets?
Don know.
The wet blanket is madddddddd

I said I could post other thinks proving it has not increased. I am at work right now.
That's an interesting interpretation of what I said.A "stoner" is to marijuana what an alcoholic is to booze, so what you've said is sensible. But do you believe that everyone who occasionally enjoys the effect of marijuana is a "stoner?"I would never hire a stoner. Those under the influence have garbage thinking and are nonproductive. And, sometimes they are outright dangerous on the job.
And whether being under the influence of marijuana induces "garbage thinking" depends entirely on the individual. The moderate use of marijuana can have an extremely creative ("mind expanding") effect on some people.
But your good with a guy throwing back a couple and getting behind the wheel?

You should exercise your own powers of observation and reason:I saw it. You typed that psychosis is not increasing. Should I take your word for it or non-peer-reviewed info from the net?

No, like I said I am at work and posting from my phone. You can either wait a Few hours or you can look it up yourself.
