Professor Lester Grinspoon Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and senior psychiatrist at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center in Boston for 40 years disagrees with Robin Murray, check out his information and make up your own mind, i have. Also search 'Keele University cannabis' to find a study that contradicts Robin Murray completely, the truth or at least the other side of the story is out there for rational humans to make up their own minds

Psychiatrists. Sigh.

Stop doing tests on %THC and start doing some tests on THC / CBD ratio

Clearly that is the next logical step in studies.

@Universaltruthseek01 … I know the drill, I’m an alost 25 years Cannabis veteran. Everything in life has dangers. It is wise to learn the dangers and the benefits if you like to achieve balance in favor of your self.

They always focus on THC and how evil and destructive it is. A load of old nonsense ! People can go psychotic for no reasons or by being pumped full of the shite big pharma knocks out, a bang on the head and the violent garbage thats constantly coming out of the tv and computer games and the grip around the necks that governments have on society. theres a miriad of different reason people go psychotic. Anyone who's tried herbal or resin cannabis will know its true nature

[Universaltruthseek01]

@TerrierBram Well one thing is true cannabis is a safe drug compared with alcohol which alot of people dis-regard as a drug. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years for the production of textiles, oil, clothing, medicine, paper, works as an appetite stimulant and relaxant. For all those reasons is the real reasons and more its been demonized and banned. Serves 100 different uses and all of them positve, easy to grow but threatend industries will always lobby for its criminalization

@Universaltruthseek01 … yup, I guess we have to be a or very kind to the Cannabis horta culturist. We get no where with waisting time revealing the bollocks of state financed talking heads.

@TerrierBram Who the fuck in their right mind would want to inject pure THC into their veins, thats total mis-information bollocks. Anyone who knows the true history of cannabis will see right through that first statement !
