More Misinformation from Kings College

[SifuPhil]

Kings College in London seems to enjoy publishing research about marijuana's harmful effects, and much of this research is later invalidated by other university studies.

One example of how this erroneous research is spread is through this article on Newser.com. In their first paragraph they make the claim that hash (hashish) contains "much less THC (the compound found in marijuana that gets you high) than skunk (a potent strain of marijuana)".

Wrong.

Hashish can and usually does contain anywhere from 60% to 80% THC. Marijuana ranges from about 5%-25%. This has been proven through decades of testing.

So, how much faith should we have in King's College's premise that strong marijuana causes psychosis?

To me, it seems that the funding for these studies should be examined closely ...

My daughter was one of a team commissioned to produce a report for the UK Government. When they presented the report, they were told that their conclusions were wrong and essentially, not what they wanted to hear. The King's report may be another example of a report presented to support government policy. In the UK, the government is increasingly telling (they would say advising) us how we should live and I don't think this practice is restricted to any one party.

Thank you, Capt. - that would explain many things I've seen coming out of King's.

Such a shame.

And, what you can or cannot buy, possess, or sell, what you should or should not eat, even whether or not it is allowable for one to kill himself. An interesting statement I once saw regarding encapsulation of government power stated that the highest order decision they should be allowed, is which intersections will have traffic lights. imp

Hmmm ... sounds vaguely familiar ... where have I heard this before? :numbness:

Ah, yes, the one-handed pelvic thrust - those were the days!

All of these studies disregard this cultural phenomenon.
