All drugs are disgusting.

And be careful re what prescribed meds you take also. There's a lot of $ hit out there atm even on this front.

Always state "I am sensitive to medication"..... just to be on the safe side.

There are safer alternatives out there when it comes to prescription medications. And yes, these safer alternatives unfortunately tend to cost more at the Chemist counter.

The short answer is NO. However, those with schizoid tendencies are very likely to experience an episode if they use hemp. For one thing, it depends on the saturation of THC. Pot is a psycho-active, hallucinogen; such drugs are capable of bringing about personification of the psychosis of the user. Therefore, the user should have a good grasp of their own psychology. The more balanced and adjusted a person is to reality, the less likely they are to have a schizoid episode.
Dope comes in a wide variety of strengths; that is one reason why I am not in favour of it being legalised. Just because it is fun, and will not kill you, are no reasons for it to be made freely available. But then I am totally opposed to the criminal penalties for its use. I might be agreeable to serious penalties for its cultivation and distribution.

I have a friend who has been a habitual user for decades. She is not affected by the psycho-active quality. To her it is a simple soporific. But then she is not very imaginative either.

PS Reefer Madness is total bullsh!t. It was a movie made by people who never smoked a joint.

Interesting take. Nice to see people who are inbetween.
Funny you should mention that lack of imagination in your friend.
One thing I really dislike about prolonged weed use is how it seems
to suck the soul or spirit out of people.
It's like they forget how to feel, or have any life or energy in them.

Yes Bin, I totally agree, but if you say it you will cop an awful lot of abuse, which is not right

I haven't said as much to people I know who are like this. Just watch their spirit and personality slowly get chewed up and dulled by drug use.

There's not much I feel able to do except hint that they should at least not smoke every single day.

Well let me be the third to agree with you. There are worse drugs out there, like Ice, but even pot has a similar effect in sucking the soul from people.

I preface anything I have to say about pot with my previous comments, which on the whole, are not supportive of general use. But that does not mean that I agree with the idea that everyone who smokes pot becomes a zombie. Sucking the soul from people? Get real. Define soul, or stop indulging in hyperbole.

Chronic repeated use dulls peoples minds and personality.
Their soul is any defining or unique feature of themself.
Repeated use blurs the users perception of reality, it subtley
dissociates them from their life and themselves.
