What smells

3 1 10 Bearman Cartoon Cannabis Skunk Hallucinations

New “duh” story about cannabis.  People who smoke alot are more likely to have hallucinations.  Study out of London says,

Young people who smoke cannabis or marijuana for six years or more are twice as likely to have psychotic episodes, hallucinations or delusions than people who have never used the drug, scientists said on Monday.

I must be so far removed from people I knew that used heavy drugs that I learned a new term.  “Skunk”  Seems this is a more potent form of the drug in its purest form which makes the above affects seven times more likely than your normal everyday pot.

        If a little skunk can produce the amount of stink it does, I fear what a 6 footer could do!! o.O

    The druggos are more likely to have hallucinations than people who DON’T take cannibis! Ha! I’ve never taken drugs nor have ever hallucinated in my life! Neither has the penguin that’s living in my garage!

      I can see things too without the mind altering drugs.

    Darn, I didn’t realise the penguin reference had already been made >_<

      Like a bear trap is going to catch a giant spider. You need to get a giant cat.

    It might explain some of our last Prez’s actions.

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      He didn’t inhale…Oh wait that was the one before.

    how many thousands of research dollars did it take to reach this conclusion??

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      I don’t know wouldn’t you like to get your hands on that dough.

    its believable ..i know jamaicans who smoke marijuana and they are crazy people….they have some horrible visions for real

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      The question is do they smoke because they are crazy or are they crazy because they smoke.

    i think this research is all wrong bearman….it’s the LSD and the magic shrooms that cause delusional thoughts and hallucinations. pot seems to just make people lazy and hungry…although i might add that some of the most intelligent, motivated, professional people i know indulge. seriously bearman, you’ve never heard the term skunk for primo bud?

    your post makes me feel so dirty but at least i’m in good company. see this link for the 10 most successful potheads that are cool enough to admit it. http://coedmagazine.com/2009/02/06/the-10-most-successful-potheads-on-the-planet-cool-enough-to-admit-it/

        ya never really know bearman…you may be surprised to see how varied my circle actually is… 🙂

    Wow. What a scientific study that was. I had no idea!

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      I am like NBC public service announcements.

    If that skunk is real, and I ain’t sayin’ if it is or if it ain’t, then that weed must be messing up his sense of smell too.

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      That reminds me of a cartoon I saw that showed a skunk smoking and his wife said “cmon’ put that out. It smells enough in here”

    So you’re sayin’, wait, what are you sayin’?

    If I smoke fifteen joints a day for six years straight, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen.
    First, I’m not likely to get very stoned off of a joint anymore, because my body’s probably adapted to it.
    Second, my teeth are going to be really really yellow.
    Third, reality is something I’m trying to avoid in the first place. Fuck reality.
    Forth, man I’d be spending a lot on pot.

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      fifth…first you aren’t likely to get stone anymore…repeat repeat.

  23. AndyCarolan Avatar

    I bet that study cost a fair bit… if only for the research material… I imagine that the volunteers worked for free 😉

    1. bearmancartoons Avatar

      I am sure you could find many a people to jump on board.
