The subject of cannabis is a controversial issue. At first glance cannabis may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, its influence on western cinema has not been given proper recognition. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that cannabis is rarely given rational consideration by those most reliant on technology, who just don't like that sort of thing. Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into cannabis.
Social Factors
Society is our own everyday reality. Back when Vealinger reamarked ‘the power struggle will continue while the great tale of humanity remains untold’ [1] he globalised an issue which had remained buried in the hearts of our ancestors for centuries. While the western world use a knife and fork, the Chinese use chopsticks. Of course cannabis helps to provide some sort of equilibrium in this world of ever changing, always yearning chaos.
Primarily cannabis builds trust among the people. To put it simply, people like cannabis.
Economic Factors
There has been a great deal of discussion in the world of economics, centred on the value of cannabis. Of course, cannabis fits perfectly into the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model, a classic economic system of analysis.
There are a number of reasons which may be attributed to this unquestionable correlation. Of course the national debt plays in increasingly important role in the market economy. A sharp down turn in middle class investment may lead to changes in the market.
Political Factors
Politics has in some areas been seen to embrace an increasing ananiathesis of intergovernmentalism leading to neo-functionalism. Contrasting the numerous political activists campaigning for the interests of cannabis can be like looking at cannabisism and post-cannabisism.
It is always enlightening to consider the words of a legend in their own life time, Augstin B. Adger 'The success of any political system can only truly be assessed once the fat lady has sung.' [2] I argue that his insight into cannabis provided the inspiration for these great words. Perhaps the word which sums up the importance of cannabis to politics is 'participation'.
I wait anxiously. What will the next few years bring for cannabis?
Conclusion
To conclude cannabis may not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it's still important. It collaborates successfully, brings glamour to an unglamorous time and it brings the best out in people.
The final say goes to the award winning Ozzy Travolta: 'cannabis is the new rock and roll! And the new opera!' [3]

Olepa sitten hyvä ja säihkyvällä sanan säilällä sekä korkealentoisella älyllä teilaa tuo. Suomeksikin kelpaa.
Kannabis lisää mm skitsofreniariskiä. Tämä löydetty useissa ainoistoissa ja on ihan oma riskitekijänsä sen suhteen. Kannabiksen sairastumisikää laskeva vaikutus edelleen lisää todennäköisyyttä että taustalla on aivojen vaurioita kannabiksesta johtuen. Ei kovin turvallista tököttiä.

Veen ND, Selten JP, van der Tweel I, Feller WG, Hoek HW, Kahn RS. Cannabis use and age at onset of schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the independent influences of gender and cannabis use on milestones of early course in schizophrenia. METHOD: In this population-based, first-contact incidence study conducted in The Hague, the Netherlands, patients (N=133) were interviewed with the Comprehensive Assessment of Symptoms and History, and key informants were interviewed with the Instrument for the Retrospective Assessment of the Onset of Schizophrenia. Milestones of early course were 1) first social and/or occupational dysfunction, 2) first psychotic episode, and 3) first negative symptoms. RESULTS: Male patients were significantly younger than female patients at first social and/or occupational dysfunction, first psychotic episode, and first negative symptoms. Cannabis-using patients were significantly younger at these milestones than were patients who did not use cannabis. Multivariate analyses showed that cannabis use, but not gender, made an independent contribution to the prediction of age at first psychotic episode: male cannabis users were a mean of 6.9 years younger at illness onset than male nonusers. In contrast, age at first social and/or occupational dysfunction and the risk of developing negative symptoms before the first contact with a physician for treatment of possible psychotic disorder were predicted by gender, but not by cannabis use. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate a strong association between use of cannabis and earlier age at first psychotic episode in male schizophrenia patients. Additional studies examining this possibly causal relationship are needed.
"JOHTOPÄÄTÖS: Tulokset viittaavat siihen, että [keskimääräistä] nuorempana koetun ensimmäisen psykoottisen kohtauksen ja kannabiksen käytön välillä on vahva yhteys miespuolisten skitsofreniapotilaiden keskuudessa. Mahdollisen kausaalisuhteen selvittäminen edellyttää lisätutkimuksia."
Väitteen esitit, mutta tämä tutkimus ei kyllä sitä tue. Itse asiassa tämä tutkimus ei edes käsittele kysymystä josko kannabiksen käyttö lisää skitsofreniariskiä. Ainoastaan kannabiksen käytön vaikutusta siihen, missä iässä ensimmäinen psykoottinen kohtaus on koettu, eikä se todista syy-seuraussuhdetta näiden välillä.
Sen sijaan mm. Saarnio (2000) sekä useat muut tutkijat ovat tulleet siihen tulokseen, että kannabiksen käyttö _saattaa_ lisätä skitsofrenian puhkeamisen riskiä siihen _ennestään_alttiilla_ henkilöillä (muistaakseni sairastumisriski kasvaa n. 15%). Kannabiksen liiallinen käyttö saattaa aiheuttaa akuutin psykoottisen tilan, mutta siitä palautuminen tapahtuu kun käyttö lopetetaan. Kannabiksen ei tiedetä yksinään aiheuttavan sen enempää kroonista skitsofreniaa kuin muitakaan psykoottisia oireyhtymiä.
Kokonaan toinen asia on se, että sinulla on englannin kieli pahasti hakusessa. Muutoin olisit itsekin huomannut mokasi. Olisit myös saattanut havaita, että tällä ei itse asiassa ollut keskustelun avauksen kanssa mitään tekemistä.
Pitää vissiin suomentaa...
