In his new inquiry into schizophrenia, Professor Sir Robin Murray should take a very close look at the impact of cannabis.
The same would be true of any inquiry into lung cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, brain tumours, serial miscarriage, low birth weight, male and female infertility, impotence, and a huge number of other conditions.
The impact of antidepressants on the rise of violent mental illness also calls for the most unflinching examination, which might be extended into the heavy medication of boys simply for being boys, a classification of maleness as a medicable condition in itself.
That follows logically from the same classification of femaleness by means of the contraceptive pill, which is not in fact a medicine at all, but a poison, being designed precisely to stop healthy body parts from performing their natural functions, and being attended by all manner of horrific side affects accordingly. The Pill, in turn, has wrought havoc by filling our water supply with synthetic oestrogens.
Let the whole can of worms be opened. Not a moment too soon.
I have been reading a bit about these psychotropic drugs and it is shocking how powerful they are. Some of them come close to being as potent as some 'street' drugs.
