Cannabis and Psychosis

This whole marijuana/cannabis debate in the UK has really got under my skin. There’s so much hypocrisy and half truths/myths about it, especially in light of raging alcohol issues here.

What has set me off today is the fact that GW Pharmaceuticals, a UK Home Office licensed researcher into non-smoked medications derived from cannabis, has in their research pipeline treatments for psychotic disorders.

Wait a minute! Isn’t the press full of fearmongering stories that cannabis can cause cannabis psychosis and schizophrenia? So how can it be that the cutting edge R&D of GW Pharma has determined that cannabis derived medication may help reduce psychotic symptoms…? Someone please explain…
