Today’s pot is far more potent than the pot available back in the 70s, and by a factor of about 10. Also, the synthetic pot, “spice,” is particularly bad. Some types can cause long term or permanent psychotic episodes.
Im wondering just how MUCH of it Obie Smokes...
yeah, but, but, but....people got da rights to do whatever they want to no matter what because psychosis is a victim less crime....NOT!......destroys families, causes crime, increases health care costs and weed ultimately destroys lots of brain cells, not that those that use it regularly have any brain cells...
I always thought it weird that liberal psychology texts would object to legalizing marijuana, but all that I read have warned of this.
I thought the synthetic pot had been banned nation wide?
Cannabis also contains cannabidiol, which doesn't get you high. As an extract, it has been shown to be an effective anti-psychotic, generally neuroprotective, an antioxidant, to possibly protect against stroke damage (before and after a stroke), and to have some value in treating social anxiety, depression and a particular type of epilepsy.
When present in pot at a high ratio, it protects against the memory loss caused by THC, and probably the psychosis too.
Pot strains with maximum THC and very low amounts of cannabidiol ARE more dangerous. But I doubt dope fiends looking for a strong high care to ask how much CBD is in their weed.
One was put on this Earth by the Good Lord.
The other thing is unknown chemicals cooked up in a lab and then sprinkled over plant material.
Please do not conflate the 2.
