With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Despite cultural propaganda that sells marijuana as harmless, increasingly research finds that

regular cannabis use is just the opposite.

Not only have recent studies found that marijuana use is a leading cause of workplace accidents

and leads to schizophrenia among young men, but a new peer-reviewed study tracking 30 years

of medical records for over 6.5 million Danish citizens found that marijuana use is closely

associated with increased risk of depression and bipolar disorder.

Those previously diagnosed with cannabis addiction were almost twice as likely to develop

clinical depression, and four times as likely to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

The increased risk for psychosis is more likely for men than women, and the chances go

off with one's use.

As U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse Deputy Director Dr. Wilson Compton noted, studies

like these are rapidly exposing that cannabis may not be the innocent and risk-free substance

at 70 people believe.
