Marijuana is well documented in studies as causing permanent psychosis and schizophrenia, especially in young users.

“Marijuana is well documented in studies as causing permanent psychosis and schizophrenia, especially in young users.”

No, it’s not.

However, it’s been statistically linked to psychotic episodes and schizophrenia. And the authors of those studies readily admit that it was likely only a trigger for those who were going to end up there anyway.

Accuracy is important. This is an emotional subject.

If you’re borderline nutso, don’t smoke pot. Or, drink whiskey for that matter. It’s likely bad things will result.

One recent study said over 25% of Americans have admitted to seeing or hearing things that were not there/real. Those are the people that should NEVER smoke pot. They don’t have an adequate handle on reality to begin with.
