Will also be interesting to see rates of lung cancer due to the inhalation of carcinogens. Having been illegal they have not been able to do the studies. In Wa they are asking for volunteers so they can test new means of detection, trying to determine cutoff limits. A little late but better than never. Only one of the teenage girls was Muslim. Granted the mentally ill person was not of mind to not jump to conclusions.
Weed is more commonly vaporized in the form of pure THC oil (which may not even be carcinogenic at all) and eaten (which obviously has nothing to do with lungs) than it used to be. Of the people I know who "smoke weed" (and it's a lot of people) very few of them actually smoke weed.
It's amazing to me how many people pretty much know almost nothing about this stuff.
Stop watching TV maybe?
We have the LR for gathering knowledge.

It's not changing that fast. Most people smoke it. Very few users vape or use edibles exclusively.

Everyone smokes it. All the fancy ways are nice but edibles outside of a legal state are hard to get and pain in the ass to make. The vaporizers are too expensive and annoying to set up. smoking is cheap and fast.

Damn you must be living in OZ. To us real Americans who actually love our country by paying insane mark ups because Jesus told Republicans weed is the same as herion we do things old school. Pipes, papers, bublers and bongs. Like Americans. I hour you don't spill your latte in your Volvo you cuck snowflake.

The people I see are driving and smoking, not vaping and driving (as they pass me while I am out on the bike, a little unnerving), smoking as they walk through parks, smoking on their way to the max, etc. If I had to theorize, the older ones (at a different point in their lives) smoke or vape at home, younger scofflaws despite the laws that they are not to smoke in public places or drive while smoking, still do, and most likely are smoking (easy to confirm by sight and smell). Too many kids (say 16-25 y/o ish) around here smoke on a daily basis. Also easy to confirm. Again theory on the split but the young ones out in public are obvious.
I guess we will find out tomorrow when they charge the guy, whether it is strictly a mental imbalance or combination of things.

So much ignorance.
Most of that article is complete garbage and cites studies that are complete garbage.
Well, studies show that brain chemistry and also molecular and neuronal cell response is altered with high ;eve;s of THC. so there is that.
Several peer reviewed studies, actually.
With the legalization, we entered one of the biggest unreglemented and unsupervised medical trials of all times...
As a Neuroscientist, I am Beyond excited about that....
We should know in about 5-10 years.
Haven't a shit ton of people been smoking pot for the last 50 years?

Actually he's correct and the study is correct. Schizophrenia and pot is a problem. But hey, you "vape" so that makes you an expert. Damn those Harvard folks who actually studied the issue.
So much ignorance you've exhibited on this subject.

Sure. Ok. Pot makes people schizophrenic.
Would like to see a repeat of that study.
That's not what anyone has stated. And you know that.

Read the study, don't sound like such an uneducated buffoon.
It doesn't say pot makes everyone schizophrenic. What is does say, and what has been proven true. Ingesting today's high levels of THC can bring on schizophrenia and other phsycosis in some people who have not been previously diagnosed. It can also have severe affects, sometimes violent affects on those who have been diagnosed. One of the reasons so many counselors do not want to treat PTSD. Do some research into subjects before spouting off.

Also, we like to think we live in special, different times. I don't think we're special. We're dealing with the same old shit humans have always had to deal with.Does the fact that there are a heck of a lot more of us now make a difference? Not special, but certainly different than in the past.
Halfbaked thought of the day (I'm open to being proven wrong): Does the fact that there are more of us now = a higher number of those with mental and violence issues = a higher number of violent incidents like this? I.e., if, say, .%5 of people are insane and violent, there are more insane and violent people now because the population is larger. Therefore, more insane and violent people = more violent acts perpetrated by that small fraction (that is now a substantial number of people). Let me know if this doesn't make sense (like I said, it's halfbaked thought typed out stream of consciousness).
