The story says: 'These included feeling like something strange or inexplicable was taking place, suspecting they were being influenced or followed and difficulty in controlling the speed of thoughts.'
In other words: do they sometimes experience feelings of 'paranoia' when smoking marihuana. Most pot-smokers know that feeling. It happens once in a while, when you smoke bad quality pot, or a lot in a short time, or didn't feel good to begin with, tired, empty stomach, etc. It's like every drinker knows a time a drink didn't go down well because of the same reasons. Young people still have to find out what qualities and quantities they like. It's no surprise to me they experience paranoia more. Older smokers know what they like. Actually I think feelings of guilt and shame can also trigger a paranoia-effect. If people feel very guilty about smoking and ashamed, it's less pleasurable. Often they never smoke pot again. I really doubt that all those people are potential schizophrenics.
About the source, the Daily Mail, I like to say that that site is not trustworthy at all, in my opinion. I've read anti-marihuana stories there that reminded me of the movie 'Reefer Madness'.
How do they avoid inbreeding? There must be some contact with other tribes, and it's hard to believe that over the centuries there are not some stories they must have heared.
If they wear traditional clothes or are naked they look proud and natural. Then the missionaries come and persuade them to cover themselves and wear 'decent' clothes. The clothes loose color in the sun and get dusty and torn, and the people look like beggars...
If you want to make a tight knot and there is nobody to lend a finger, you clip this thing on your watch and use it as an extra finger to hold the knot down!
