Hmmm....: People with neurologic and psychiatric disorders, especially those using any psychiatric medications such as stimulants, are advised not to go smoke weed. Smoking anything if damaging to one's health (inhaling the byproducts of burning material is obviously a bad idea)... even without considering the neuropsychiatric effects of weed.
