Smoke Dope and Go Crazy, Says a New Study

A new study out of Spain claims that young people who smoke marijuana run the risk of experiencing psychotic episodes.   According to the report, featured in Reuters the results can not be a factor of chance, nor are the results specific to any gender.   The report does claim that the results are dependent on how much cannabis was used.   How much is too much, is not reported.

So I guess we are back somewhat to the modern version of that old cinema chestnut, “Reefer Madness,” where hopped up teens, I love the term hopped up, get nutty from the weed.    But suffice it say that the younger the person who first downed cannabis the greater chance he or she would experience a psychotic episode.

One thing that comes to mind is what is deemed a psychotic episode?  I am sure the study has validity, but I am always curious to see just what these drug bugged teenagers did for their psychotic experience.   I wonder if it is sort of like a class project, a pantomime show and tell.   Let’s face it, in an often psychotic world it is difficult to separate the normal psychotic from the exceptional psychotic.   For these kids, I suppose it was easier for researchers to recognize the first lapse into psychosis.

I am also curious as to whether certain subjects showed any predilection for the psychotic before imbibing cannabis.   I mean were the all Spanish versions of the All American kid who smoked a joint and then went nuts.  Hard to say.   The report did say that the imbibing of cannabis is atrtributable to about a ten percent increase in the potential for psychosis.   Ten percent.  Don’t know what that means, but considering there are legitimate prescription drugs out there that present a greater chance of harmful side effects, ten percent doesn’t seem like all that much.  Unless it’s your kid.  Or you.

I am not a big fan of cannabis.  At least it has been a long time since I have considered risking any psychotic episodes by huffing on the drug.   I can certainly see it’s medical benefits, and I also see that more than a few people who start to smoke it start to smoke to much.

In the case of this particular study, I am sure we will a few rebuttals with even more statistics, facts, and observations.   I am sure none of this will give pause to weed smokers.   The parlors in Amsterdam won’t go wanting for customers, nor will the medical marijuana venues in California.   But if the findings do bear out, I suppose being forwarned is at least somewhat forearmed.   One more thing to make you crazy.
