The researchers claim they couldn't prove that it's the pot that causes psychosis (a category of several disorders, including schizophrenia); it could be that there's something special about stoners, "like their tendency to use other drugs or certain personality traits, that could be causing the psychoses," one doctor explained. But it is biologically possible that weed is the cause, since it affects dopamine. (Haha, 'dope'!) So yeah. "Experts are now agreed on the connection between cannabis and psychoses," says the doc. Well, our ex-boyfriends are on their own, but we worry about Paris. Could this explain why she was decompensating in jail? (By the way, we wanted this post to go up exactly at 4:20, but we were so baked we forgot.)

But there's more to him than that! Tyler Atkins is also a T-shirt "designer." And a surfer! Just picture Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Totally awesome! People reports that in a recent interview with Australia's Who.com, Tyler said Paris is "a really smart, amazing girl and we share similar interests." Yeah, we think when he says "smart," what he means is, "knows where to get really good bud." Anyway, we checked out his clothing line and we're totally buying the hoodie that reads, "Stoned On Love."
