Smoke pot for five years as a teenager and it doubles your risk for developing hallucinations or delusions that are associated with the significant mental health disorders referred to as psychosis or schizophrenia.  For those who think smoking pot is harmless and relaxing, it is not.

Long-term pot smokers will be happy to know that this new study will qualify them for a new psychiatric disease label known as “psychosis risk syndrome.”  This fabricated mental illness is part of the brand new American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual2, a compendium of legalized drug pushing on par with the value system of the illicit drug market.

This means pot smokers will now qualify for $500 - $700 per month worth of atypical antidepressants at tax payer expense (Medicaid) so as to prevent their mental decline.  Pot smokers may want to think twice before extending their hands, since the drugs will make them obese, diabetic, and unable to sexually perform.
