For what purpose and who is funding it?

[freddie]

Never mind. I just did your survey.

 

Thank you very much for your participation. This study aims to understand how frequency of cannabis use, duration of cannabis consumption and family history of psychotic illness, contribute to schizotypal personality. Your participation has been anonymous and your data will be kept completely confidential.

I did that one too.

 

Seems to me to be very baited. Unless you answer NO to every question but the last one, you'll not be considered normal. I suspect they are searching for a reason people turn to Cannabis, other than the fact it's just fucking fun and a beautiful part of life.

I found the blood relatives bit confusing. I answered all of them in relation to one of my aunties who has had two psychotic breakdowns, i.e schizophrenia. But I wasn't sure if it was asking about several blood relatives each time it asked the same question like how long did it last etc.

Meh, anyway, I don't think it's 'bait' Teucer. I said I get anxious in social situations with people I don't know (this happens to a lot of 'normal' people) and said I avoid going out sometimes but then I explained it at the end it's because I have OCD so I won't go out sometimes because I'll have to go through feeling dirty and then have to clean thoroughly afterward. I also said smoking Cannabis Indica (not Sativa which makes it worse) almost completely diminishes my OCD. So I assume they will take this into account.

I'm going to go search for more Cannabis research things like this, Id I find them I'll post them here.
