where did i read about the psychosis. i didn't read it, i witnessed it in four people including myself!
> Futhermore, and as you mentioned, there are many types of weed, with different potencies, moany of wich can no longer be considered as a soft drug, but as a hallucinogenic.

As for your comment about a finite number of receptors, and not being able to get higher beyond a certain point... I have no idea where u get this information. I do know that I was hospitalized and had to take neuroleptics for psychosis after I smoked a very large amount of pot. I had become convinced that people were following me and that everyone knew everything there was to know about me, and that people were going through my garbage to get data on me, etc...
definatly not a fun trip.
If you want more data on the negative effects of marijuana, check out the DSM IV, and you will see more (documented)information about how dangerous pot can be.
