For a long time, There was a known link between marihuana and schizophrenia.
However is was not known exactly if marihuana causes schizophrenia or schizophrenias self medicate with marihuana.

BTW, schizophrenia is extremally bad mental disease, often causing violent attacks on innocent people.
Like the guys who shot in the Denver movie theater or congresswoman in Tucson.
I believe many of the mass shootings are caused by it.

Yep, they legalized it without understanding the effects of it (probably because there was no research in the effects of cannabis) and then let the producers make it as potent as they wanted. And the ignorant potheads thought that the more THC in a product, the better.

Note to potheads: The Deep State that is demanding people get and keep getting CoupFlu shots is the same one legalizing weed.

That should tell you nimrods something.

I worry about second-hand effects.

I am not stupid enough to smoke it.

I don’t want to be affected by those who are.

Well, men and women.

The population is being weakened and needs healing.

Maybe at some point they’ll look to the Lord for that. If so, it might all be worth it.

The entirety of the conclusion of the study you are citing:
“There was a positive association between the number of cannabis dispensaries and rates of psychosis ED visits across all counties in Colorado. Although it is unclear whether it is access to products, or the types of products that may be driving this association, our findings suggest there is a potential impact on the mental health of the local population that is observed after cannabis legalization.”

So they didn’t actually study if weed users had more mental health problems. And as we all know, correlation is not causation.

A lot of older men were already smoking it in their youth. It was all the rage from the middle to late ‘70s.

Many of the anxiety/depression disorders result from years of smoking pot. Those are far more common than schizophrenia.

So 1/8th of the population has been schizo for the past 60 years?
Makes sense

Pot doesn’t cause schizophrenia.

It brings it out sooner.

But these folks were going to get sick anyway.

“Pot causes psychosis.”

No reputable scientist, and no peer reviewed study has ever shown pot to cause a permanent psychosis.

It’s temporary, and lasts a few hours.

It’s called being high.

Your assertion is not substantiated by any science.

And crazy people show their crazy when high.

But pot has never caused a permanent psychosis in any person.

The Deep State under FDR made it illegal in the first place and has done everything it can to keep it that way. That’s why Obama and the dems never legalized when they controlled Congress. All those fedgov agencies do not want to give up their cash cow.

A numbers of older people have started again.

Loosely translated to say...may not. People and their goofy obsessions.

The mentally tend to smoke pot OR smoking pot tends to make some habitual users mentally ill. Which is it? It’s one or the other.
