I am not simply gonna accept some random news article that is filled with lines which set off my Bullshit detector. The use of terms in the news article indicated that the author didn't know what they were talking about. So I went to the source. The actual study on psychosis (found and linked) is quite good. Its specific, its got details and it makes some very clear statements. It's conclusions are not the same as the conclusions presented in the news article though. The other study quoted is factually inaccurate. As it bases its conclusion ON inaccurate facts (hash is better that 'skunk' cause its not as potent), I have no confidence in the woman's study. I posted supporting evidence form the goddess-damned ONDCP, what more do you want?

Or should I just believe anything you link to, due to your sterling reputation of providing us with reliable studies and anecdotes on the topic?

Ok well having a Brit explain how we refer to different types and the general street quality of what we get here might be useful before let's all pile in on RWHN time? I shall get on it after my doc appt

So, other than an article that agrees with you in every detail, what will you accept?

Actual science also proves this:

QuoteLong-term pot use can double risk of psychosis
Young people who smoke marijuana more prone to delusions, study says

QuoteLONDON - Young people who smoke cannabis or marijuana for six years or more are twice as likely to have psychotic episodes, hallucinations or delusions than people who have never used the drug, scientists said on Monday.

What does that have to do with the Hopkins study on psilocybin?

I think it means that for every scientific study that shows there can be benefits to drug use, RWHN can show us one that says they're dangerous or unhealthy.

Just in case you were trying to form your opinion on drugs by the time-tested method of scoring points.

I actually just thought it was funny that hippies were proved scientifically right about something, especially something as woo-woo as magic mushrooms. :lulz:

As far as my opinion on drugs goes, I think that some drugs are fun and some drugs are horrible, and children should never do any drugs at all.

maybe an article that bothers to use correct terminology?

that doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation in regards To ANYTHING.

but then, it sure is tough to argue with the religious, isn't it?

33 pages, and we're reduced  (on both sides) to ignoring or dismissing out of hand any articles or sources that disagree with our own beliefs.

RWHN brought up a good point about long-term side effects, with references, and it was howled down with no rebuttal.

Nigel bumped the article on shrooms having a good effect (can't remember who posted it in the first place), and a knee or two jerked instantly.

This has become about as productive as the standard Israel/Palestinian debate on any given politicaltard board, because both sides are yelling and nobody's listening.

OOK OOK!
