"The expected rise in diagnoses of schizophrenia and psychoses did not occur over a 10 year period. This study does not therefore support the specific causal link between cannabis use and incidence of psychotic disorders. … This concurs with other reports indicating that increases in population cannabis use have not been followed by increases in psychotic incidence.”

“Maailman ‘huumetsaari’ Antonio Maria Costa haluaisi sinun uskovan, että laillistamisliike tahtoisi poistaa huumausainekontrollin”, Cole sanoo ja jatkaa: “Päinvastoin me vaadimme, että hallitukset vaihtaisivat epäonnistuneen kieltopolitiikan järjestelmään, joka oikeasti säätelisi ja kontrolloisi huumausaineita, myös niiden puhtautta ja hinnoittelua – puhumattakaan heistä, jotka tuottavat huumeita, sekä kenelle niitä saa myydä. Kieltolain aikana ei voi harjoittaa tehokasta kontrollia, kuten meidän olisi jo pitänyt oppia epäonnistuneista kokeiluista alkoholin suhteen Yhdysvalloissa vuosina 1920-1933.”

"But in its 2009 World Drug Report, the UN had little but kind words for Portugal's radical (by U.S. standards) approach. "These conditions keep drugs out of the hands of those who would avoid them under a system of full prohibition, while encouraging treatment, rather than incarceration, for users. Among those who would not welcome a summons from a police officer are tourists, and, as a result, Portugal's policy has reportedly not led to an increase in drug tourism," reads the report. "It also appears that a number of drug-related problems have decreased."

"Even the UNODC website admits:
“Global drug control efforts have had a dramatic unintended consequence: a criminal black market of staggering proportions. Organized crime is a threat to security. Criminal organizations have the power to destabilize society and Governments. The illicit drug business is worth billions of dollars a year, part of which is used to corrupt government officials and to poison economies.
Drug cartels are spreading violence in Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. West Africa is under attack from narco-trafficking. Collusion between insurgents and criminal groups threatens the stability of West Asia, the Andes and parts of Africa, fuelling the trade in smuggled weapons, the plunder of natural resources and piracy.”

"The researchers add that the ability of cannabis smoke to damage DNA has significant human health implications especially as users tend to inhale more deeply than cigarette smokers, which increases respiratory burden. "The smoking of 3-4 cannabis cigarettes a day is associated with the same degree of damage to bronchial mucus membranes as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day," the team adds."
