There is now sufficient evidence to warn young people that using cannabis could increase their risk of developing a psychotic illness later in life. That may well be accounted for by people who already have a risk or predisposition, I'm not disputing that. But how many people know whether or not they already are at risk? Even those who do, I'm not saying that they will develop an illness or that if they do that it was predicated by their use of cannabis. I'm not going to stop anyone from trying it, that is their freedom, and perhaps it should be legally recognised. I think that neither the pro-cannabis lobby or the anti-cannabis lobby are reporting the understood risks and effects very well at all, and the environment they create similarly stifles understanding among young people.
Using any drug is a calculated risk, and some are definitely riskier than others. I just want people to actually be able to do those calculations. While sober.
