Addiction to cannabis and mental disorders

[jabez]

Ok, I would never usually post a story like this.

 

The reason I am is because this goose john english from the examiner is writing rants like this every few days and I'm just hoping to get more people on to him and comment on his anti-cannabis rants. Anyone can leave a comment, you don't need to log in or anything.

 

Addiction to cannabis and mental disorders

 

Marijuana users: Just picture them as lemmings, rushing toward the cliff …

 

“Drugs are modern slavery, just ask any addict! Then ask them what was their first illegal drug. Nearly every time they will tell you marijuana. Mere coincidence? Yeah right!” Dan Bent, Former U.S. Attorney for Hawaii

 

Users’ anti-social behaviors, confirm their anger and resentment at their plight, yet they continue to disassociate themselves from their having made the initial bad choice of using. For some, marijuana is psychologically addictive. Some get out; others cannot.

 

The most convincing reason why potheads must remain criminals, why marijuana must remain illegal, is their targeting of children. That behavior in and of itself reveals that they suffer from a deep psychological insufficiency, a need to draw children into becoming like them – whether it’s a need to justify their own beliefs or some other motivation, it doesn’t matter! They’re damaging future generations and doing so intentionally.

 

Becoming victims of their own propaganda, they slip farther down that slippery slope of drug use, their anti-social behavior solidifying their position among the criminal element where they and their families, their offspring must live and continue to suffer. The criminal part of this is that they’ve blindly and irresponsibly relegated their children to this same life.

 

The risks caused by the use of Marijuana and hashish, widely regarded as “mild and harmless recreational drugs” are far greater than presumed, especially for the sensitive souls of young people: Anxiety, depression and even psychosis result from the use which sometimes continued for several years.

 

This book gives founded and easily understandable advice on the connection between addiction to cannabis and mental disorders - a difficult combination which is often detected much too late.

 

Lisa Lindberg and Dr. Christian Haasen, a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and expert on addiction give advice and information about a wide variety of important issues. They provide valuable guidance and orientation for parents, teachers, self-help groups and social workers.

 

“Legalize it? After reading this book some of those who have a liberal attitude towards pot smoking should reconsider their position. Lisa Lindberg and Christian Haasen are dealing with the connection between addiction to cannabis and mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders - a connection which is publicly hardly known. Case reports and comprehensive advice for the family make this book equally valuable for anyone seeking information or help.”

Cheers jabez, I posted a comment simply because that John "Numnuts" English as no understanding whatsoever about responsible cannabis consumers. Anyone can ramble on about crap like that, backing it up with evidence is another thing. Something that which he failed to do.

 

Also, if that how he plans on promoting a book. I can't help but think that he sealed it's demise. I knida pity the co-authors that wrote it (ok, that's enough pity.. ). Below is what i posted..

 

Seek Help John says:

You're seriously delusional John. Rant 'n Rave like you do without providing any evidence, shows that your comments carry no weight. You are doing society a dis-service with you're biased niave opinion, and It's quite clear that you're a lunatic on the loose.

The best thing about it is I'm positive that all the comments that agree with him are actually him just posting under a different name, .

 

Happy days in the US.
