I love science, I am a fan of it; good science that is.
The Federal Government is funding research into the relation between smoking marijuana and mental illness.
"Science has shown that cannabis may actually trigger the onset of psychosis and may also intensify the symptoms for those who already have a psychotic illness," (Winnipeg Conservative MP Joy) Smith (Kildonan-St. Paul) said in announcing a grant of more than $550,000 to the Schizophrenia Society of Canada.
The grant of $559,370 is the largest Health Canada has ever provided to the society, he said.
The money is part of Ottawa's $30-million national anti-drug strategy, announced in 2007.
So the Federal Government, which is court ordered to produce medical marijuana in Canada, which has announced a stronger anti-drug strategy in recent years, is funding research into marijuana and it's negative effects, with funds from the national anti-drug strategy...
Do you think the study will be bias at all?

You know what the the Schizophrenia Society of Canada is going to report don't you ? That pot will give you Schizophrenia. When they receive that kind of funding, they will conclude whatever the government wants in order to get more money. Just wait till they ( the SSofC ) start the national advertising campaign with a multi-million grant warning us about dangers of pot. You heard it here first. The Conservatives really want to go after pot, even though I know a couple of them that smoke it.
The bias seems pretty obvious to me.
