Is this the 'tobacco moment' for cannabis?
Henry Cockburn was
diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2002 at the age of 20. Before that he was a
heavy cannabis user. His father, Patrick Cockburn, The Independent's
award-winning foreign correspondent, has long wondered whether the two were
linked and spent months speaking to the world's leading experts in the field.
In a four-part series prompted by his son's condition, he will examine the
medical evidence linking sustained cannabis use with schizophrenia, before
going on to look at the way the mentally ill have been let down by the health
service and stigmatised by public opinion, and concluding on Thursday with his
manifesto for a more humane and effective system – accompanied each day by
Henry's account of his journey from pyschosis to a normal life.

Nurses' Kindness
The Gift of Kindness
There is no way of knowing the true value of the kindness nurses and social workers are giving freely while doing the work they are paid to do. The kindness so many of them give has healed many people after everything else had failed.
There are many nurses and doctors who have a gift of being able to make you feel better, yet they don't even know they have a special gift. This gift of kindness and respect towards others can make people feel so uplifted that is often all that's needed to strengthen the immune system so they can overcome their own problems.
