Britain's most senior coroner is warning that hundreds of young people are dying in accidents caused by their prolonged use of cannabis. Hamish Turner, the president of the Coroners' Society, said that the drug, which is often portrayed as harmless, has increasingly been behind deaths that have been recorded as accidents or suicides. In the past year, he estimated that cannabis was a significant contributory factor in about 10 per cent of the 100 cases that he had dealt with in south Devon, where he works. Conversations with his colleagues led him to believe that the scale of the problem elsewhere in the country was equally bad. "Cannabis is as dangerous as any oth…

Schizophrenia by cannabis new myth. by our reporter Koen van Eijk. Castricum - During the 1930´s, you would ´become homophilia´ from cocaine use. In the 1970´s, schizophrenia was caused by failing parenting by the mother. It all turned out to be a hoax. Again, a new medical myth appears to be born: Now you become schozophrenic from hash and weed. Psychiatrist Daniel van Dijk was surprised when he heard the news last week: The use of hash and weed, cannabis, would be the cause of 200 more schzophrenia patients in the Netherlands each year. The media reported this on basis of a Trimbos-Institute research. According to Trimbos, even people without genetical indication…

ALMOST half of the 100 soldiers drug-tested after a raid on Darwin's Robertson Barracks in October tested positive for "party drugs" such as cannabis and amphetamines, army chief Peter Leahy told a parliamentary committee last night. Lieutenant-General Leahy told the defence estimates committee hearing in Canberra he was concerned that an organised drug ring could have been operating out of the barracks, which houses 3000 personnel, before the extensive raids by civilian and military police.

found this on another forum and thought i would post it after seeing the discussion about driving under the influence.

In an Australian first, the Victorian government today moved to give police powers to conduct random roadside drug testing. Under legislation now before state parliament, from July next year roadside drug screening will be used to detect drivers affected by cannabis and speed with a saliva test. Transport Minister Peter Batchelor said drugs were involved in 27 per cent of road fatalities last year. "It clearly indicates that the taking of illicit drugs is a major factor of similar proportions as the over-consumption of alcohol in fatalities on our roads," he said. "The police will be given this equipment as new tools in the road safety campaign. "It will be…
