(Newser) – Seizures of a super-strong strain of marijuana nicknamed
"skunk" have risen sharply in the UK and experts say it could be
causing an epidemic of cannabis-induced psychosis, the Daily Telegraph
re****ts. Skunk is up to four times more potent than regular herbal
cannabis, and now accounts for 80% of street seizures. British
politicians are now debating reclassifying marijuana as a more
dangerous drug.
Mental health experts say the powerful high skunk provides can tip
mentally vulnerable people over the edge into full-fledged psychosis.
One estimated that a quarter of all new schizophrenia cases would be
linked to the drug in the next two years. Government advisers say that
gangs growing skunk are cornering the marijuana market in the UK.
"Traditional herbal cannabis has almost been squeezed out of the
market," noted one.

Oh geez ... why don't they just claim 'skunkweed' is
made by 'terrorists' too while they're at it - pissed-
on by bin-Laden himself ???
Totally LOSING the war against pot, the drug warriors,
their cor****ate sponsors/profiteers and the ultra-
puritans have invented a whole new kind of "Reefer
Madness" for the 21st century. Why, they'll be able
to turn more teenagers (especially 'black' ones)
into felons than EVER before - and get megafunding
for a whole new wave of drug-war propaganda, gadgets
and for-profit prisons ! Fascist nirvana.
Talk about 'insanity' ... this is an authoritarians
brain on 'drug war' - and it ain't pretty.
