What I am suggesting is that people need to educate themselves Desmond there's nothing there about killing brain cells, in fact @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_cannabis we find Research done by the Scripps Research Institute in California shows that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, prevents the formation of deposits in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease. THC was found to prevent an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase from accelerating the formation of "Alzheimer plaques" in the brain more effectively than commercially marketed drugs. THC is also more effective at blocking clumps of protein that can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimerâs patients, as reported in Molecular Pharmaceutics.[7] the main reason most use: . Primary psychoactive effects include a state of relaxation, and to a lesser degree,euphoria bonus level: Secondary psychoactive effects, such as a facility for philosophical thinking; introspection and metacognition as for paranoia, some people are just paranoid. but consider this, could it be these people who report paranoia are picking up cues from their environment? The secondary effects can be overwhelming for some, as can anything that makes us examine ourselves and come to a revelation. As for the therapeutic benefits:
Mental Disorders
There has been evidence that smoking marijuana can have a positive effect on disorders such as Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression. In patients with bipolar disorder subjects have been shown to actually become better after smoking marijuana increasing the rate at which these patients go from high to low. In the case of depression many users have reported that their moods have become better. Research done on lab rats and animals has shown that marijuana can act as an anti-depressant but in other studies done on humans this is not the case, actually pushing the subjects further into their depression. A study of 50,000 Swedish soldiers who had smoked at least once were twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as those who had not smoked. The study concluded that either smoking caused a higher rate of schizophrenia, or that schizophrenics were more likely to be drawn to marijuana.[57] A study by Keele University commissioned by the British government found that between 1996 and 2005 there had been significant reductions in the incidence and prevalence of schizophrenia. From 2000 onwards there were also significant reductions in the prevalence of psychoses. The authors say this data is "not consistent with the hypothesis that increasing cannabis use in earlier decades is associated with increasing schizophrenia or psychoses from the mid-1990s onwards".[58]

On-Topic: The only gender-bias in "difficulty" in dealing with people is that guys tend to have a much more aggressive approach, making them seem "difficult" by method of insecurity, and gals tend to have a much more defensive approach, making them seem "difficult" by method of incompetency. There's also the social constant, which is the standards we know and love (or don't love) within each of the cultures and sub-cultures we belong to. The pressure to be "standard" is such that if a standard is pushed upon groups of people, they will try to conform and thus will emulate the ideals of the standard as best they can. In other words, guys are difficult because they perceive girls to like the "bad-ass" guys who ARE difficult, reckless, yet strong and competent, and girls are difficult because they're pressured into believing that beauty, competency in homemaking, and sex are the only valued traits guys look for. In both cases, the guys and girls often try to emulate those "ideals", which aren't always easy, good, or healthy to follow. Everything is made even worse in that being considerate is considered "offensive" to many people, often because they're too concerned with being independent that anyone who does anything nice to them is automatically degrading or otherwise trying to make them feel inferior, or that there are other ulterior motives to everything everyone does. Chivalry has died, so now kindness cannot be afforded on the presumption that someone will take offense to another person actually being nice. The other problem is compatibility, since we all search for a different set of criterion in our partners, and each of us fits different sets of criterion. The key issue is that if you have all positive criterion and no tolerance for negative criterion, you'll never be satisfied, which makes YOU difficult, not your partner. One of the biggest things you can do to improve any relationship aside from trusting each other is to increase your own tolerance for otherwise unwanted traits. For example, my girlfriend has a son who's about my sister's age. Most guys would just turn away from that in a heart beat. However, I can handle that. After all, if her son is my sister's age, the relationship he and I should have is more of a brotherly relationship, as awkward as it may sound. On the flip side, I have a very severe, undiagnosed eating disorder which prevents me from enjoying foods most people do, and from trying new ones that don't seem appealing. She will have a difficult time cooking for me since my tastes are very specific. She will have to tolerate the fact that she'll either have to cook something separate or will have to let me work on my own meals. Thus far we've been tolerant of these issues, but they haven't really been "field tested" since we've not yet met face-to-face (though webcam-to-webcam has worked, as has mic-to-mic). All-in-all, you're responsible for being true to and knowing yourself and your partner, and to experiment to find what you can and can't handle, and what you will and will not tolerate. Learn to compromise, learn to be respectful, and there will be no guy OR girl that won't enjoy a relationship with you, short- or long-term.
