MARIJUANA A new series of researches is pointing towards the adverse effects of long term marijuana use in the adolescent age group. Basically the studies focused on finding the long term psychological effects on those who used cannabis on regular basis. Few conclusions: 1-People who start smoking cannabis at adolescent age are at increased risk of developing mental problems. 2-Daily cannabis use is related with 5 times increased risk of depression at age 20. 3-There is dose dependent relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia. 4-This suggests that people already at greater risk of later developing mental health problems are also more likely to smoke cannabis.

I would say i don't agree to this fully and especially when we look at it in context with the following quote, "Powerlessness can corrupt as insistently as does power."

The aggrieved can be a weterner or an easterner, as the case may be. It is only unfortunate that we are living in times where its east.
