Love it! It seems that not only does CBD NOT cause psychosis, it may
actually stop it.
"One particular cannabinoid that has attracted
recent attention is cannabidiol (CBD), which, in animals, has been
shown to have effects similar to antipsychotic drugs through an as yet
undetermined mechanism"
"It is evident that the majority of young cannabis users do not develop
psychotic illnesses. Those who do so must have one or more
predisposing factors.
Cannabis is good for you!
"The effects of cannabis on the heart and blood vessels are similar to
the effects of moderate exercise and do not constitute a risk in healthy
adolescents or adults."
Less harmful than tobacco!
"Due to the nature of cannabis use, fewer joints are smoked by an
individual
over long periods compared with cigarettes. The Council therefore
considers
that smoking cannabis, even when mixed with tobacco, is less likely to
harm
lungs than if tobacco is used alone."
So much for the the Daily Mail 'Superskunk'?
"unpublished data from the National Poisons
Information Service [13] show a decrease in the pro****tion of enquiries
relating to the acute toxic effects of cannabis between 2004 and 2007,
from around 0.4% to under 0.3%. Although these data are related to
enquiries – rather than confirmed diagnoses – they do not suggest that
there has been a recent increase in acute poisoning from cannabis with
the availability of higher-potency products"
