Who is going to distinguish? The fact is that hash users regularly try to convince the general public that theirs is a harmless pursuit. Evidence suggests otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284819.post-45250955727848700332007-03-27T19:03:00.000+02:002007-03-27T19:03:00.000+02:00The question uppermost in our minds here should be...The question uppermost in our minds here should be this: who poses the greater danger to other people - schizophrenics or drunks? - ClaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284819.post-91037912144920348522007-03-27T16:37:00.000+02:002007-03-27T16:37:00.000+02:00You are correct, I think that the harm of a specif...You are correct, I think that the harm of a specific substance, cannot be gauged merely by looking at its toxicity. But for me the larger point of the article I quote is that alcohol is particularly dangerous compared to many other drugs, yet it is legal. As with most drugs is the quantity and the frequency with which one takes most of these drugs that will give a better indication of the harm.Pierre de Voshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861888910368295788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284819.post-49875325197370244732007-03-27T13:52:00.000+02:002007-03-27T13:52:00.000+02:00while grass might not be the most toxic of substan...while grass might not be the most toxic of substances, latest research says other effects are dangerous. This comes from the UK Independent.<BR/><BR/>"The warnings about the effects on mental health were underlined yesterday in a new report, saying almost a quarter of all new cases of schizophrenia would stem from cannabis smoking by 2010.<BR/><BR/>The study, published in the journal Addiction, also predicts that young men who smoke cannabis will be particularly at risk. The use of cannabis among under-18s rose 18-fold in the 30 years to 2002, according to the researchers.<BR/><BR/>Dr John MacLeod, co-author of the study, said: "If you assume a link [with cannabis] then the number of cases of schizophrenia will increase in line with increased use of the drug." Antonio Maria Costa, the executive director of the United Nations office on drugs and crime, yesterday called for people to wake up to the fact that cannabis is now a dangerous drug wrongly portrayed as a "gentle, harmless substance"."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
