I would take the word of my psychiatrist over some random pot heads' when it comes to a debate about the negative effects of marijuana. Considering he actually has patients whom he treats for marijuana induced psychosis I think I am correct in taking his word over yours.
I look at it this way, marijuana has NOT been proven to reduce psychosis therefore it is not beneficial for people with psychosis. Therefore there are two possibilities, it has either no effect on psychosis or induces psychosis. Given there is evidence for the latter I have the opinion that marijuana is bad for your health.
I personally don't care if anybody smokes pot but when they end up in a psych ward I don't have much sympathy for them.

and the madness continues...
Shrinks get paid plenty to prescribe a bunch of toxic chemicals to people with emotions. But I do sympathize when these patients end up sick or dead from side effects. I guess being anti-natural remedy also means you lose your ability to empathize. Maybe that's why anti-pot people are so fascistic.

Good morning, Worm your honor.
The crown will plainly show

This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?
Crazy, toys in the attic I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away
(Crazy, toys in the attic he's crazy)
You little shit you're in it, now
I hope they throw away the key.
Yer should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no! You had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, Worm your honor,
Him and me, alone.
Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to mother baby,
Let me hold you in my arms.
M'lud I never wanted him ta
Get in any trouble.
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home.
Crazy,
Over the rainbow, I am crazy,
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall when I came in.
(Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy)
The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertible, there's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving a
The full penalty of law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
"Go on Judge, shit on him!"
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Tear down the wall!

So doctors are allowed to continue their legal drug dealing, prescribing drugs that kill millions of people per year around the world, while cannabis, a drug that has never been proven to do any harm to anybody, leads to psychosis and the looney bin for anybody that uses it?
I've listened to my doctor over the past 4 years about this and I've gotten nothing from it but a serious addiction to Klonopin. I'm weaning off and switching over to medical marijuana legally in a couple of months, so I'll let you know when I hit the psych ward...
