Does the science say that smoking marijuana does cause psychosis?

No, it does not.

Then we agree that the science says otherwise than Jim 0216.

“Guess I touched a nerve. FWIW, I think there are only correlations and no proven causation between psychosis and smoking anything.”

Sunrise can be a correlation but you are a noble person for saying that. Meta analyses are notoriously biased especially
when agenda driven.

smoking marijuana does cause psychosis [...] A lot of hokum science out there my FRiend in case you haven’t noticed.

It seems I know it better than you do.

How so?

You swear by the junk science that smoking marijuana causes psychosis.

I’ve always thought that nicotine has the effect of blocking minor background stimuli (noise) that causes stress ... perhaps the reason why it’s so pleasurable to some people, and why it’s so hard to quit.

Ask any psychiatrist that works the ER.

Synthetic THC which is 7 times stronger than the natural plant THC often causes psychotic breaks and lifetime schizophrenia on the very first time a person uses it.

Has to do with atrophy of the dendrites on the pyradimal neurons in level three of the cerebral cortex.

They're in no position to do blinded controlled research.

"Spice" and other synthetic crap have nothing to do with marijuana.

Smoking is an avenue by which demons can enter one’s soul.

Never been a smoker, and would not want anyone I care about to smoke. However, I am deeply skeptical that smoking tobacco makes one “psychotic”. After two or three decades, it will give you lung cancer...but psychosis?! Does this match with any freeper’s observation or experience? (Smoking pot is another matter.)
