Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Hucker has testified in court that a man who brutally beat his stripper girlfriend to death and then ran down the street stark naked, throwing money to people, and later told police he was a messenger from God was suffering from a major mental illness induced by chronic marijuana use. Personally, I have to say bullshit myself! http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/307441 Bullshit.
That shit is ridiculous. As if people don't just go insane everyday regardless of what they're doing. I guess it's just easier to blame it on something.
Marijuana can't give you schizophrenia, but I've heard it can make it worse if you already have it. Marijuana isn't gonna cause you to kill anybody, if the jury believes that then they are fuckin retarded and ignorant. But people with certain mental illnesses shouldn't smoke mj I do know that.
He wants to blame something on the reason why he killed two people. If this works he will be clinicly "insane", and he wont have to go to jail but to a place where he can "get better". Another person making a bad name for chronic.
If youre schizo and dont know it yet, smoking weed can bring out mild to moderate schizo effects. Not to the extent of this story. Thanks for the read Am.
Weed can only bring out psychosis/schizophrenia earlier in a user, nothing more, it cannot cause it. god damn... fuckin idiot doctor, did he buy his degree from a crackhead?
Where'd ya hear that? None of the published research shows any direct causal relationship between cannabis and psychotic episodes. I have read them all. And try as they might to prove it, it just didn't come out the way they woulda liked. and, most of the research was way flawed.
That's one of the reasons that weed was criminalized in the first place. People were getting off of crimes like murder and rape etc because they said it was the Marijuana that made them do it, and the public believed most of it.
actual article written on this http://www.newscientist.com/channel...-use-increases-risk-of-psychotic-illness.html
From my psychiatrist since my family has a history of schizophrenia. Also, from a pro-pot psych. so I'm pretty sure they aren't lying about it.
