I by no means want to give the impression that weed is harmless - everybody is different and i do myself have two friends who have, i think, been pushed from latent mental illness into full blown psychosis by too much of it. However, I can't bear the thought that the bad reactions of some people might make my doctors try to force *me* away from weed. Of course this may be denial or somesuch - but still. And the idea that mental illness is always going to result from cannabis use is just not true. Loads of people smoke and get no bad effects. And MS sufferers and so on need to have the option left open...
Sorry for the rant, but I feel strongly about this and need to defend the availability of my drug of choice!!
