I've seen a number of people who smoked pot, that turned out to be bi-polar, or were related to them.<br /><br />Don't forget that Silicon Valley seemed to run on pot, at least in the early days. (as you probably knew, since you lived here) The workers that didn't use it seemed to be a smaller number than the users. I don't work in high-tech anymore (since '00), so I don't have a current view.

Not every pot smoker or even most will end up schizophrenic, but often enough that it is a significant public (and private) health concern.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-45814293060850521242019-01-14T07:58:00.917-07:002019-01-14T07:58:00.917-07:00Correlation is not causation.

When California went reefer mad I said that we will soon know if there is really any scientifically provable benefit to marijuana. And whether tobacco smoking was uniquely bad, or if inhaling the smoke of any burning leaves would result in similar effects.
