Alla muutamia linkkejä tutkimuksiin, toivottavasti joku oikeasti lukisi ne, ennen kuin kiistää ne. Ikävän vähän niissä on kuvia, mutta yrittäkää kestää.
Laitan tähän omasta mielestäni tärkeitä lainauksia ko. tutkimuksista, jos joku ei jaksa niitä kokonaan lukea :

Marijuana and Mortality
American Journal of Public Health
1997 Apr;87(4):585-90
by Sidney S, Beck JE, Tekawa IS, Quesenberry CP, Friedman GD
"In summary, this study showed little, if any, effect of marijuana use on non-AIDS mortality in men and on total mortality in women. The increased risk of AIDS mortality in male marijuana users probably did not reflect a causal relationship, but most likely represented uncontrolled confounding by male homosexual behavior. The risk of mortality associated with marijuana use was lower than that associated with tobacco cigarette smoking. "
Elikkä aidsiin kuolee niinkuin ennenkin, kannabikseen ei.

Addiktiosta.
Comparative Epidemiology of Dependence on Tobacco, Alcohol, Controlled Substances, and Inhalants: Basic Findings from the National Comorbidity Survey
Anthony JC, Warner LA, Kessler RC
Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology, 1994; 2:244-68
"Studying prevalence of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (3rd ed., rev., American Psychiatric Association, 1987) drug dependence among Americans 15-54 years old, we found about 1 in 4 (24%) had a history of tobacco dependence; about 1 in 7 (14%) had a history of alcohol dependence; and about 1 in 13 (7.5%) had a history of dependence on an inhalant or controlled drug. About one third of tobacco smokers had developed tobacco dependence and about 15% of drinkers had become alcohol dependent. Among users of the other drugs, about 15% had become dependent"
Ja siis, tuo 'other drugs' ei tarkoita pelkkää kannabista.

"Cannabis addiction and other problems are uncommon. "The number of cannabis users treated in drugs outpatient facilities is low," says Knaak. "In 1996, there were only 2000 [patients] in the whole country -- just 0.3 per cent of all Dutch cannabis users.""

Mielenterveyhäiriöistä:
From New Scientist, 21 February 1998
"In the case of delinquency, schizophrenia and mental illnesses, the balance of the evidence points to the second explanation. Marijuana doesn't cause the problems, although it may make them worse. Some schizophrenics, for example, are drawn to the drug because it eases their sense of alienation. And most researchers now accept that the evidence linking marijuana to abnormal brain waves vanishes when people with psychiatric problems, illnesses or a history of general drug abuse are excluded from studies."
Ja :
"Finally, researchers led by Terrie Moffitt at King's College London, UK, analysed comprehensive data on over 1000 people born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1972 and 1973.
They found that people who used cannabis by age 15 were four times as likely to have a diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder (a milder version of schizophrenia) at age 26 than non-users.
But when the number of psychotic symptoms at age 11 was controlled for, this increased risk dropped to become non-significant. This suggests that people already at greater risk of later developing mental health problems are also more likely to smoke cannabis."
Eli siis, kannabis ei AIHEUTA mielenterveyshäiriöitä ainakaan niin paljon kuin _meille_ kerrotaan.

Ja vaikutuksesta liikenteeseen :
"In driving simulators, marijuana does impair visual skills and mental dexterity. But studies of actual driving show that even high doses of marijuana have less impact than alcohol, perhaps because smoking it doesn't usually make people so reckless. In one study, low doses of marijuana made drivers more cautious."
Ei siis, että kannabista tulisi missään nimessä käyttää liikenteessä, mutta ihan vain vertaillakseni.
Ja tottahan ganjan suurkulutuksesta on haittaa :
"Other research suggests that evidence of dramatic mental decline is unlikely to be found, even as a result of long-term heavy use. Over the past 25 years, Jack Fletcher at the University of Texas in Houston and his colleagues have been visiting Costa Rica to test the mental skills of very heavy users. Although some of them have smoked 10 joints a day for more than 30 years, their ability to learn and remember lists of words is only mildly impaired (see diagram below). And even when struggling with more demanding tasks, such as recalling information while pressing a tapper as fast as possible, their scores fall well within the normal range."
Haittaa? Kyllä, mutta niin paljon kuin meille yritetään uskotella? Päättäkää itse.

Kieltoa tukevista tutkimuksista :
The human toxicity of marijuana: a critique of a review by Nahas and Latour.
by Macdonald J. Christie & Greogory B. Chesher
Department of Pharmacology,University of Sydney,New South Wales,Australia
"A review entitled "The human toxicity of marijuana" was published in 1992
in the Medical Journal of Australia. The authors claimed that the adverse
effects of cannabis use have been trivialised and that the effects are
much more serious than earlier reported. We have made a careful study of this
review and examined the claims made. We compared the claims of the authors
with the information contained in the documents they cited and found that
at least 28 of the 35 citations in this article were cited inaccurately.
Five of these publications were misquoted,or the findings of the study
were not fully reported. Twenty-three citations contained other errors,
leaving only six to eight (two citations could not be traced because of
their obscurity) accurate citations among the 35. All of these inaccuracies
operated in the direction of finding an adverse effect of marijuana."
Ja mitä tämä todistaa puolesta? Ei mitään, mutta ehkäpä ihmiset voisivat suhtautua hieman kriittisemmin tietoon, jota annetaan; Niin puolesta kuin vastaan.

Tässä siis pieni pisara saatavilla olevista tutkimuksista. Toki olen itse valinnallani vaikuttanut siihen, millaisen kuvan annan kannabiksesta näiden tutkimusten valossa. Mutta ehkäpä kieltolakia kannattavatkin tekevät samoin?
Summa Summarum. Kannabis EI ole terveellistä eikä nosta menestymisen mahdollisuuksia elämässä, saattaa jopa laskea niitä. Kysymys kuuluukin, kuinka paljon haittaa sen käytöstä on, ja olisiko aiheellista antaa ihmisten ITSE tehdä omat päätöksensä asian tiimoilta, todelliseen tietoon perustuen.
Itse 'kuvittelen' tiedostavani sen käyttöön liittyvät riskit, ja hyväksyn ne ilomielin, sillä vaakakupissa painaa aineen tuottama ajoittainen mielihyvä paljon enemmän.
Toisaalta voimme alkaa systemaattisesti kieltämään muitakin asioita, joista jonkun mielestä koituu haittaa. Ihminen kun on sen verran tyhmä otus, että se kaipaa jonkin suuremman auktoriteetin hänelle kertomaan, että mikä on oikein, ja mitä hän saa tehdä.

Vanhimmat
Meinaatko tosissasi että jonkun päättäjän mielestä se on liian "kivaa"?
jenkit ovat rasisteja.
Kyllä jenkit rasisteja!
Se on fakta!
ònko?
Miksi alistua tutkimustuloksiin jos oman mielensä voi valita mieleisekseen? Polttakaa tutkimukset ja alkakaa tajuta asioita ihan itse, te olette viisaampia kuin tutkimukset.
Eikö niin, arvon huumevastaiset?
