Dosen't he take breaks the odd time and not smoke for months...goes for ages smoking it constantly too..can take it or leave it. I'm away to bed..see if i'll dream..haven't really smoked today, just had a spliff at lunchtime compared to the usual stoned most of the time.

It does raise the risk quite a lot in people who are pre-dispositioned to mental illness, but it also raises the risk in people who otherwise wouldnt be susceptible, but not by as much.
I read it in Nursing times magazine, but cant find it on the website so cant link to it sorry.

There was a link on the BMJ website to a paper on Cannabis and psychosis, is that the one you mean?

Hmmm, you're into slightly dodgy ground there, people who were not susceptable, how would you know that?

That is the study I referred to where their initial findings were that heavy smoking might permanently change the brain chemistry of young users, in a way that might make them more likely to suffer mental illness.

Oh definately and I have been consistantly strong in my views about young people using drugs on here.

Whether people are genetically disposed to suffer mental illness is only just vaguely understood, and even if you are genetically diposed it doesnt mean you will suffer.

Its a complex area I'm certainly not expert in.

even when i'm sober every time i close my eyes i trip out...i think i want myself to trip subconsuoucly but my mind says fuck this shit...i have some really vivid dreams...sometimes good sometimesnot... i heard a professor say once that dreams are another part of reality but i'll hold him to that one yet...
