I always held that position, because cannabis IS harmless. What you were getting at is as stupid as saying water has killed people in the past so it's harmful, when water itself is not. Any harm associated with it is due to other factors. You claimed cannabis causes psychosis which is simply not true. I've always maintained that certain individuals should avoid it, such as those that can become psychologically addicted to it, but that doesn't mean cannabis itself is addictive. That's the difference, and that's all I've been trying to clarify. I never insult first, that is a fact. I don't enjoy insulting at all and avoid it at all costs, but after the insults start flinging then I let loose. Your own words were emotional attack... "Cannabis should be legalised but we should also educate people on the risks." I have no problem with that, as long as you are concise in your education and careful with your choice of words. I have no problem with someone claiming cannabis use can trigger a schizophrenic episode in someone that has NEVER shown signs of it, but cannabis has never once been proven to cause schizophrenia in and of itself. Really, we agree strongly here, because I believe ALL drugs should be legal, and that education of the harms should be jammed down everyone's throats, as long as we're approaching it in an honest and intelligent way. There was a drastic decrease in cigarette consumption in the '70s due to awareness, it doesn't take a law to make that happen, and I appreciate you not supporting prohibition even with your beliefs, so I have no ill-will towards you, or anyone really. Along with that education should be a complete topic on mental disorders and their effects exacerbated by any specific behavior. Of course someone we think would have more trouble than benefit with cannabis shouldn't take it, and I've always said it's not for everyone, but that number is much better with cannabis abuse than with any other drug, as well as many other activities. I would obviously prefer someone abusing cannabis rather than food. And while schizophrenia is a horrific illness, it in and of itself will not harm a person, but rather make them a danger to themselves. That's not to make light of the condition, I've seen it, and it's nothing anyone should have to go through. Really, I hope we have a better understanding from this point, because I'm too lazy to go through the rest of your post.
