Well, I'll start by apologising for being dismissive of it, clearly it's not something you're happy to talk about, and I'd like to make clear that as I said, I didn't doubt your sincerity on the matter, I just see a lot of people throw terms like schizophrenia around a lot without knowing the full implications of the word. I'm also sorry to hear that about your brother. The thing is, this is genuinely the first story I've actually heard like this. As I've said, I hear a lot of "oh, y'know, some guy I know knows a guy who's a bit messed up", really vague, zero substance scare stories, so they've always been quite hard to believe, especially while I know so many people, myself included, who use it quite regularly and have for quite some time without a hint of a problem. 5 spliffs a day 3 days a week is more than I use, but then again I know people who use more. So I suppose it just comes back to the subjectivity of it. Drugs work for some and not for others, but I firmly believe it's every person's right to experiment. And like I've said, I'm not naive to think that cannabis is completely harmless, it is possible to abuse it, I have seen that too, but that's down to the person, not the drug. There are drugs that are inherently bad, cocaine, heroin, meth, etc. I still believe that cannabis isn't one of them.
