Cannabis Law and Politics

Every debate in the media seem to always bring up the issue of mental illness in regards to cannabis. Its always portrayed as something having negative social effects. Especially among the young, teenagers, troubled people. My observation with Cannabis is that even in extreme cases the consequences of consuming cannabis are surprisingly benign- even in highly disturbed and volatile people. I believe many people incorrectly associate characteristics of disturbed and undesirable people that smoke cannabis (traits they would have anyway) with the effects of the cannabis.

I guess we all wonder is the link between marijuana and schizophrenia real?

My buddy is an amputee and I want to get him a birthday gift of a lighter pipe because he loves to get high, but he has problems using both a pipe and lighter, having only one arm. He gets by, but I think a lighter pipe would be the solution to his problem because it’s a pipe and lighter combined into one product. But which one should I get the solopipe or the 7 Pipe Pro?
