> The people who say that pot can't exacerbate psychiatric problems are completely biased and out of touch. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary actually. I'm not saying people don't have a right to do it, but the effects can vary greatly from one individual to the next. The people who said that they know thousands of chronic users that never had an issue are using faulty logic. Those heavy users obviously don't have bad reactions to it, otherwise they wouldn't be still using it. Their group is pre-selected. People that have psychiatric reactions are very unlikely to become long term users. This is the same thing as me saying I know hundreds of cigarette smokers but none of them has ever developed lung cancer, so therefor tobacco is not carcinogenic. I personally believe that indicas are much better for susceptible people, and sativas can wreak havoc in those same folks...just my 2 cents.
This is a very sober post. I agree with you.
This is not an all-or-nothing issue. Smoking pot is helpful and enjoyable for some people and psychotomimetic for others.
