A lot of scientific errors in these two articles, which is not surprising coming from the mainstream media, even a respected outlet like the BBC.

Cannabis user Robert, from Hertfordshire experienced a "temporary psychosis" after taking home-grown cannabis in his 20s.

"It was utterly terrifying, and the worst night of my life," he told the BBC News website.

"As someone affected by this issue it is hard watching mainstream media, particularly comedy films, portraying cannabis as a harmless life-enhancing substance with limited ill-effects - it's simply not true."

Haha, what a joke. So one bloke self-diagnosed a psychosis after using cannabis in his twenties once and he's cited as a credible authority.

It is an absolute joke and this news story is being picked apart in the UK about how utterly flawed it is.

There is also a documentry that has been produced by Channel 4 to investigate these claims.

They have also roped John Snow (a very well know and respected news reporter to take part in an experiment.

I honestly despair how this is being reported. It is so wrong and there are so many questions that need to be asked.

I am not sure if I am allowed but there are some really good discussions going on here:
