Where is proof of pot harm

WHERE is this "incontrovertible proof" linking "heavy cannabis smoking" with psychosis (Editorial, NT News, January 17, 2008)?

My understanding is that pot smoking can trigger an existing predisposition to psychosis.

But that's not proof, solid or otherwise, that pot causes the breakdown.

This type of comment is inflammatory. Also wrong is that pot is stronger than it used to be. Where's the proof for that?

And please don't tell us it's what all the doctors and professionals on government payrolls tell us.

Hemsley Rajala,
Millner.
