well, of course recent research has linked the highly modified strains of marijuana (ie, very high THC, reduced companion and modifying compounds) with schizophrenia and other disorders. This has fatal consequences, as I can attest to. See: http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/natureofthings/2010/downside...

This study smells of FUD. Has there been on overall spike in schizophrenia that one would expect? What's the sample size? What's the hypothesis on the mechanism (just saying correlation isn't good enough)? Etc.

It also has little to do with the debate over prohibition, since prohibition has done little to curb consumption but certainly incentivized stronger strains.

You can attest to the fatal consequences?
