Howard Marks calls for further cannabis studies

The 60 years old Howard Marks, universally know as Mr. Nice, one of the biggest smuggler of marijuana in the ’70 and ’80, has asked, during a recent interview, to investigate better the relationship between cannabis and mental ill.

“If, as a result of smoking a lot of dope, one becomes schizophrenic, that’s reason for concern. If being slightly schizophrenic makes you want to smoke some dope to ease you through the day, I don’t think that is cause for concern. To find out which of these is true will require research.[…] One has to look into the action of cannabis (on the brain) and what happens.”
