Paranoia/Schizophrenia:-
...according to those who research how the human mind works, and particularly those who research the effect drugs may have on it. Since you're sitting in front of a computer, try Googling for "cannabis/schizophrenia" to bring up many sites concerned about this subject (as well as some denouncing it of course, but civilised debate on this issue - in this thread - might regrettably not be possible).

Do you honestly not believe smoking dope can contribute to
cancer, Deposable? The link with tobacco is unquestionable, and on its own cannabis contains more tar than tobacco. Respiratory and bronchial disorders, however small, are inevitable through smoking.
The THC mimics the actions of neurotransmitters in the brain and interferes with normal functions. It stands to reason this loss of control will come at a price -
panic attacks and anxiety disorders are a likely result, turning severe in some users. Again, these symptoms are becoming widely known as research develops.
As for
eating disorders, how many times have you had the munchies when stoned? Or avoided food in favour of a cigarette/joint (hence people gaining weight when they stop smoking)? Drugs mess with your systems, and your eating routines. :p
But you're right - if George W Bush and Hitler smoked dope, things would be a lot different.
