Ask me if I would use cannabis for recreational purposes and the answer would be 'absolutely not'.......I drink alcohol very rarely too.
it is,(again, my opinion only) people with sad lives and poor imaginations who need to rely on recreational drugs to get their 'highs' in life.

Can you be 100% sure the mental illness was from the cannabis though?

Would you class alchol as a drug and include this in the statement.
A lot of "Legal Substances" could be seen to give a "high". Caffine, Tobacco.
