Why do some people tolerate alcohol more than others?

Different people tolerate different drugs than others and it is a matter of tolerance and blood. It doesn't mean since someone could support some drug everyone should be able to support it. Thinking like this is refusal to reason.

Personally, I know people who could smoke wee throughout the whole day for years with visibly no effect on them, but I know those who took one "draw" and ended up in psychic situations. I lost two friends to wee; they went crazy and it's no joke.

Medical marijuana has reduced level of delta9-tetrahydrocanabinol. Also different Marijuana have different content of THC.

Two guys were picked up by the cops for selling drugs and appeared in court before the judge. The judge said:

You seem like nice young men, and I'd like to give you a second chance rather than jail time. I want you to go out this weekend and try to show others the evils of drug use and persuade them to give up drugs forever. I'll see you back in court Monday."

Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said to the first one:

"How did you do over the weekend?"
"Well, your honour, I persuaded 10 people to give up drugs forever."
"10 people? That's wonderful. What did you tell them?"

"I used a diagram, your honour. I drew two circles like this: O o and told them this (the big circle) is your brain before drugs and this (small circle) is your brain after drugs."
"That's admirable," said the judge. "And you, how did you do?" (to the 2nd guy)

"Well, your honour, I persuaded 50 people to give up drugs forever."
"50 people! That's amazing! How did you manage to do that!"
"Well, I used the same two circles. I pointed to the small circle and told them, 'This is your asshole before prison...

It is well known and proven beyond doubt the medical benefits of marijuana when used responsibly. Yes those who have a history of psychiatric illness in the family should avoid it.Marijuana is not tobacco. Better regulatory laws are what is needed to check its abuse. Like any drug it can be dangerous if abused.

Wee used to be called Indian Hemp, that was when it was medicinal. In fact there are smokers in high places, one of them was sacked from the University when caught. He is still smoking in England and I don't think you will ever find him in chains as these poor blokes. But if what Frank claims is PROVEN to be true then Nana must be warned.

If this is a Psychiatric "hospital" with patients chained to rocks, then these patients are not mentally ill from that "some dried grass" called "wee". Instead these ill from Hunger. Money no de flow in Africa. No jobs, no money no food. It is so obvious in the condition of the so called "hospital" Get these people doing something worthwhile, for just Garri soaked with sugar daily and in no time they will be healthy. but first there must be water and should be clean!

•Schizophrenia

Three major studies followed large numbers of people over several years, and showed that those people who use cannabis have a higher than average risk of developing schizophrenia. If you start smoking it before the age of 15, you are 4 times more likely to develop a psychotic disorder by the time you are 26. They found no evidence of self-medication. It seemed that, the more cannabis someone used, the more likely they were to develop symptoms.

Why should teenagers be particularly vulnerable to the use of cannabis? No one knows for certain, but it may be something to do with brain development. The brain is still developing in the teenage years – up to the age of around 20, in fact. A massive process of ‘neural pruning’ is going on. This is rather like streamlining a tangled jumble of circuits so they can work more effectively. Any experience, or substance, that affects this process has the potential to produce long-term psychological effects.

Recent research in Europe, and in the UK, has suggested that people who have a family background of mental illness – and so probably have a genetic vulnerability anyway - are more likely to develop schizophrenia if they use cannabis as well.

We should not draw uncritical conclusions. Remember symptoms of start very early in live in most cases in the teens but are unnoticed.

Hi,
To whom this may concern.
I read an article on Ghanaweb.com concerning the used of cannabis and tobacco.

I do believe what you guys talk about but really come on! next time better do some fucking research ok. For the tobacco aspect everybody know that its harmful but people still use it, that's their fucking choice. This is something you need to educated the people about.

But dude, cannabis, don't go there! why is it that most countries legalizing it. Come on dude next time better do R&D. because our country needs it. and stop brainwashing our people.

Anything you eat, drink or do must be in moderation. Wee when taken , most people may experience false sense of hope and perhaps not in world of reality, they may experience distortion of some of the senses, hearing, seeing ,feeling things that are not there, talk to themselves incoherent and blurred speech, may become paranoid, thinks people are talking about them ,in some instances they will respond to perceived threat, and hence aggression and violence ,sets in. Same apply to excessive use or abuse of alcohol There are many causes of mental illness .l think [my opinion] in Ghana the major causes of mental illness is extreme poverty, where the person finds it difficult to achieve the basic necessity of, Abraham Maslow hierarchy of needs put it as physiological ,food, clothing, shelter and sex.
