BULLSHIT.
Schizophrenics and other at-risk mental illness patients run the reasonable chance of inducing psychosis and other unwanted mental aberrations through use of psychedelics.
Cannabis is not "harmless" -- it's a psychedelic drug containing a blend of well over fifty different cannabinoids, some of which may induce panic/restlessness.
For example, a strain with a large ratio of delta-9 THC more often than not produces similar negative effects to that of Marinol.
Strains with larger concentrations of CBD/CBN often have bias towards muscle relaxants and general couch lock (ie calming).
To say cannabis is "harmless" is like saying Alcohol is harmless.
For most use cases, yes.
For a limited set of cases, involving differential consumption, mental state, set and setting, cannabis can be quite destructive or destabilizing.
Weed is not a wonder drug. Just a drug that is mostly safe in most cases.

Yep. This is the country where a mentally ill patient can refuse to take their meds, even with a case history of violent outbursts.

Since we closed our mental institutions for being "institutions" there is no one to make them take their meds anyway..... or stop them from buying assault rifles.

No, there's no such thing as mental disorders. People who study for several years and practice for tens more in the field of neurology who have mapped the regions of the brain where mental disorders are triggered or caused, and others who map the behavioral patterns of individuals and notice these rare but very noticeable aberrations, they're just idiots. gilly's got it ALL figured out; if you're a schizophrenic, eh, you're just human waste and stupid for being weird.

I don't think that blood relation makes it obligatory to love and respect somebody. I haven't talked to my fucked up grandmother (mom's side of the family) in six years and plan to continue with my life as though she did not exist. The same goes for half her crazy daughters who followed her path of martyr attitudes mixed with crazy schemes of seperating the family (which worked).
I do not feel guilty because love and respect are never unconditional, and of these two respect is even harder to give out for free. Depending on the role of the individual in your life, you get to pick just how conditional your love and respect is. For example, the least conditional of all my loves are my children. I almost love them for free, with the exception that they are my kids (so not unconditional). My grandmother is not as important to me, so her conditions grow. My other grandmother meets my conditions (is loving and sane) and so I love her so much.
If the woman hurts herself in an effort to hurt others, look away or you'll be giving her a reason to continue doing the same thing over and over again. Psychology is not there to make excuses for people to behave certain ways, but should be used instead to find the problem and work on getting better (or at least controlling the problem). I know why I have certain issues and instead of getting cozy knowing how I got there, I am constantly trying my best to improve for the sake of my loved ones. I'm not a victim anymore. Sometimes we just have to suck it up and move on.
