I have scoured the planet seeking out and growing some of the most potent strains of cannabis and I have never had a single hallucination from any of it – nor do I know anyone who has.
Why is that?
If Canada has "the highest per capita users of marijuana in the world," why don't our schizophrenia rates reflect that?
If what the CMHA is claiming is true, we should have much higher schizophrenia rates than most any other country, but that is not the case.
In fact, Canada has some of the lowest incidences of schizophrenia in the world.
I know several people who legally use cannabis regularly for the treatment of depression and other mental-health issues.
If cannabis causes schizophrenia, why are doctors prescribing it for depression, anxiety and other neuropathic conditions?
My parents' generation did not fall for "reefer madness," mine did not fall for the "gateway theory" and my children's generation will not fall for "pot will make you crazy" – mainly because none of it is true.
