Smoking Cannabis Doubles Risks

Saturday, June 11

A huge study released recently following 1,000 people over the span of 25 years has shown that "Smoking cannabis virtually doubles the risk of developing mental illnesses such as schizophrenia". Interesting results and very surprising (at least i thought so). The mental illness comes from chemical changes in the brain, and can lead to "clear increase in rates of psychotic symptoms after the start of regular use." So everything in moderation people...not that weed is more dangerous than alcohol, but worth considering next time you reach for that joint. The Source

Court Anomaly?


Ran into this article the other day, I found it very interesting as it truly is an anomaly in the court system in the United States where abortions are legal. Not to start the whole abortion debate again, been there done that. Just wanted to draw your attention to this man who refused to pay for an abortion, stepped on his girlfriend's stomach to induce an abortion. The man subsequently has been charged with two counts of murder (he's done this before), where his girlfriend was not charged because "of her legal right to abortion", yet she was the one that asked her boyfriend to help her. So, what do you guys think of this and what do you think should have happened?
PS. The image above is about the same time period of the fetus' involved in the incident.
