Recently I was reading the Cannabis forum and in one of the threads somebody was warning against people using cannabis regularly due to current research claiming that heavy cannabis use is a casual link to the development of schizophrenia. Most of the response were along the lines of dismissing the arguement and research as overexaggerated or bullshit entirely or anti-drug propaganda. Many of my friends have similiar responses to the cannais and schizophrenia research and I must admit that my use of cannabis hasn't decreased despite this new evidence into its links to mental illness.
There seems to be a trend on bluelight that if there are media articles on the dangers of a particular drug (especially in the case of drugs like marijuana and MDMA) that people will automatically say "pfft. just more anti-drug propaganda funded by the federal govt." or something similiar. Are we just burying our head in the sand.
So I ask all of you, if new research showed that a drug that you enjoyed was in fact dangerous, associated with mental illness, casued neurotoxity or whatever, what would your response be? Would you decrease your use, stop altogether or would it not make the slightest difference?
Also I would like to point out that I am talking about actual scientific research and not so much current affairs programs that are based on playing to the viewer's emotions rather than their sense of logic.
Taco out:D
