Someone posted an article here recently that presented the conclusion of some medical study. The researcher said something like sustained marijuana use is more likely to lead to psychosis in some individuals.
Absolutely true. Several peer reviewed medical trials have shown that marijuana use, regular use over time can initiated genetic triggers for schizophrenia and other diagnostic cagegories in mental illness. In a similar fashion that diabetes can be accelerated by high carb/sugar intake to increase resistance to insulin- genetically marked. There are some people who do not have the genetic markers for this response to marijuana, but most people do. The receptor mediated response becomes both psychologically and physiologically addictive. Biochemically pot is needed to maintain the effect—and for someone to develop tolerance, hence needing more pot. Articles have also missed that pot smoke is highly carcinogenic— but maybe that’s nothing compared to death by Oreo cookies.
