Seriously you have no respect for people's privacy do you. You shouldn't be blabbing that information to everybody. Your parents shouldn't have told you either. That is so unethical. People's mental illness is serious business and should be private.
So what if weed is natural? It was legalized in Britain for a while and mental illness shot through the freakin roof. So there was some correlation and causation. When it was criminalized again the mental illness rate went way down.
And smoking can cause lung cancer like you said.

Do I have to define psychiatrist for you? It's a person who diagnoses mental disorders and deals with problems of the mind
And no it's not privileged information, it's given to the parents, and since my family was good friends with him, we found out through his parents what was going on. It's not like he didn't tell me himself, too, though.
Yeah you can't save people from themselves, I'm sorry that's just not possible. And Artsy, I haven't given this guy's name or ruined his privacy or anything along those lines. Stop being such a little drama queen, sheesh.
And weed being legal or illegal makes no difference, it's very easy to get ahold of. Nobody is going to stop smoking weed because it's illegal, haha.

It is dangerous and it's not like the 60's. In some cases now the THC content is dozens of times higher than back in the hippy days and it's a lethal, mind affecting drug. It kills the neural pathways in your brain and is a lethal carcinogen that infects your lungs and the rest of your body.
haha, riiiight. That's really not accurate, that's just drug scare tactics that polite society would like to you believe. I've done my research, thanks to this friend, and my friend in med school has done his research too, nobody who has really believes that. It's like when people say that today's absinthe contains much lower thujone content than it did 200 years ago. They've done tests on bottles that old, the content today is no different, in general. Weed is not a dangerous drug, it's probably the only drug that should be immediately legalized. It's already legal for medical uses, and it's not a big deal, has no negative side effects for most people.
Has there been an event in your life that changed your outlook?
There's been only one "event", and that was accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
