Ich hoffe und bete, 🛐 dass der Herr Prof. #Streeck und die deutsche #Bundesgesundheitsministerin #NinaWarken #CDU, sich nicht auf so ein Niveau herablassen und einmal ehrlich die Vorteile von #Cannabis für unsere #Gesellschaft debattieren würden.
Oder haben sie Angst vor Schadensersatzprozessen und der kumulierten #Schuld? #DIELINKE
1930s style #ReeferMadness fearmongering propaganda is unfortunately alive and well in 2025 #Alabama. No wonder Alabama ranks 45th in education. There's a few smart people who live in Alabama, but they're sadly vastly outnumbered by the embarrassing simpletons who appear in this newscast. It says a lot that Alabama voted overwhelmingly for #Trump and they're scared of a medicinal herb that has a better safety profile than many commonly used over-the-counter medications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc_8REgnTD0

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's rich.

>Multiple studies suggest THC use can increase the risk of schizophrenia and acute psychosis. [link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10874830/]
HPM, you're pulling a reefer madness here. That paper is concerning developing better biological metrics for cannabis exposure. It certainly does not support the claim that "THC use can increase the risk of schizophrenia and acute psychosis." The closest the paper comes to suggesting such a thing is in the introduction:
"In Canada, the number of patients presenting to emergency departments with a “cannabis-induced psychoses” doubled between 2015 and 2019.[12] This is a major issue, as many of these individuals subsequently develop a psychotic disorder.[13]"
The [12] citation is, frankly, malicious in the context of the Chesney et al usage, as [12] makes plain in its results:
>ED presentations for cannabis-induced psychosis doubled between April 2015 and December 2019. However, across all four SARIMA models, there was no evidence of significant step-function effects associated with cannabis legalization on post-legalization weekly ED counts of: (1) cannabis-induced psychosis [0.34 (95% CI −4.1; 4.8; P = 0.88)]; (2) schizophrenia [24.34 (95% CI −18.3; 67.0; P = 0.26)]; (3) alcohol-induced psychosis [0.61 (95% CI −0.6; 1.8; P = 0.31); or (4) amphetamine-induced psychosis [1.93 (95% CI −2.8; 6.7; P = 0.43)].
And conclusion:
>Implementation of Canada's cannabis legalization framework was not associated with evidence of significant changes in cannabis-induced psychosis or schizophrenia ED presentations. Given the potentially idiosyncratic rollout of Canada's cannabis legalization, further research will be required to establish whether study results generalize to other settings.
Both of which make clear that the doubling was statistical noise that does not support the assertion that legalization brought about greater incidence of schizophrenia or psychosis.
The [13] (Murrie et al) citation does not claim that THC-induced psychosis episodes themselves *induce* schizophrenia where risk for it was not previously established. Murrie et al studied how often substance-induced psychosis patients eventually received a schizophrenia diagnosis, as compared to non-substance-induced psychosis patients eventually receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis. Their study hypothesized that there would be no difference:
"We hypothesized that substance-induced psychosis would be associated with the same risk for transition to a later diagnosis of schizophrenia as is observed in other brief and atypical psychoses, based on the findings of the clinical follow-up and register studies described above."
And actually found that the transition risk was *lower* for substance-induced psychosis (Table 2):
>Substance-induced psychosis had a lower rate of transition to schizophrenia than for other brief, atypical, and unspecified psychoses. However, the pooled rate of transition for substance-induced psychoses was similar to that for brief and atypical psychoses (excluding psychosis not otherwise specified). The available data, therefore, suggest that people with substance-induced psychoses, particularly those associated with cannabis, have almost the same rate of transition to schizophrenia as those with other brief and atypical psychoses.
though their confidence intervals do overlap:
>Substance-induced transition rate: 25% (18%–35%)
>Brief, atypical and NOS transition rate: 36% (30%–43%)
Nevertheless, Murrie et al choose to instead highlight in their abstract (in my opinion, an instance of #AbstractAbuse) that THC, as the abused substance, was most likely to predict a transition to schizophrenia later.
Their discussion ultimately qualifies their claim of THC causing increased risk of schizophrenia diagnosis to already **vulnerable individuals**.
>This study adds to evidence that cannabis interacts with other risk factors to double the risk for schizophrenia **in vulnerable individuals**.
In short, [13] adds additional weight to the suggestion that those with risk factors for schizophrenia or other serious disorders may want to abstain from, or at least reduce intake of, THC (and *all* forms of psychoactive substances). It does *not* suggest that THC is, itself, *causing* schizophrenia.

#JDVance is a lying idiot. #Cannabis is NOT being laced with #fentanyl. It's simply not happening. Fentanyl is destroyed by high heat, and would be completely ineffective if smoked. What's going on here is that Vance doesn't like #marijuana, but since the facts aren't on his side, he's invented a scare story to justify his position, which is out of step with the clear majority of Americans. He wants us to go back to #ReeferMadness, and I say "Fuck you" to him.

Do you know of #ReeferMadness? The 1936 film warned parents of the insidious dangers of marijuana.
The 1998 satire of that film was made into a musical. In 2005 the musical became "Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical"
Here Alan Cumming warns parents in a song - Reefer Madness. 💨 🚬 :weed: 🍃
Much like anti gay panic back then and anti trans panic now.

Rep. #BillHagerty (R-TN) is trotting out a litany of distortions and lies about #cannabis that are straight out of #ReeferMadness. He says it's anti-American! (except #BenFranklin, #GeorgeWashington, and #ThomasJefferson grew and smoked it) It's a gateway drug! (except studies have repeatedly shown that alcohol and tobacco, and not cannabis, are the real gateway drugs) It will increase crime! (except crime has gone down where it's legal)
#RonDeSantis really has his finger on the pulse of the nation. What a dweeb! Hey Ron! Nobody has "toked up" since 1973. This dude sounds like he just stepped off of the #ReeferMadness sound-stage. How, in 2024, can an elected official be so demonstrably out of touch with the American people? Don't worry, Ron. Nobody is going to toke a doobie next to school children. 🙄

It seems #cannabis may have valuable uses as #medicine, so maybe the #USA shouldn’t fight against it quite so hard, legally.
*sigh*
This is what happens when research is stopped for a moral panic and racist prohibition regime.

The "#ReeferMadness" people are back to terrorize the #poorlyEducated with more dishonest scare tactics in support of maintaining the #criminal status of #cannabis.
None of their #arguments are made in #goodFaith, nor are they based on sound medical or legal principles. Every one of them applies 1000-fold to #alcohol, but they don't have anything to say about that. Instead, they pathetically attempt to compare #weed to #cigarettes, which is utter #bullshit.

@jeffowski great string BUT are there any objective tests? Cause these numbers just don’t make sense

#BrianKilmeade seriously believes that secondhand #weed #smoke wafting over from a park next door is going to effect the minds and abilities of #tennis players at the #USOpen in #NewYork. This level of panicked stupid hasn't been seen since the first #DARE t-shirt came off the press. This is what happens when you work for a network whose audience is almost exclusively made up of elderly white racists.

I couldn't mention #RiffTrax Live in that last post without plugging the #ReeferMadness video. These guys are hysterical and do great work with a self-run production studio that could fit on a postage stamp. Please buy their work and support them!
