“Citizens Commission on Human Rights International is opposing the world-first study that could lead to millions of Australian and American teens being doped with prescribed marijuana.” By CCHR International The Mental Health Industry Watchdog March 15, 2017
Australian psychiatrist Patrick McGorry, renowned for his debunked and dangerous theory that pre-drugging adolescents with antipsychotics can prevent psychosis, now plans to prescribe medical cannabis to treat “anxious” 12 year olds. His Australian study will give the drug to 12 to 25 year olds to treat anxiety and other “mental health issues.” Mental health watchdog, Citizens Commission on Human Rights International, is opposing the world-first study being given final approval by the Australian federal ethics committee later this month.[1] Prof. McGorry’s study could lead to millions of Australian and also American teens being doped up with prescribed marijuana, although it is argued that it is without psychoactive properties.[2] McGorry has strong ties to leading American psychiatrists and the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
