DISCLAIMER (July 2007)

While I still suspect that some alleged cases of 'cannabis psychosis' in black
people are a consequence of racial stereotyping by the psychiatric profession,
I am persuaded by the recent evidence that the use of cannabis can under
certain circumstances cause psychological as well as physical harm.
